I sure do love getting spammed by people with broken mailing list
software.

Oh, I never bother with those.  My escalation procedure goes like this:

  1) Try the X-List-Unsubscribe header

  2) Try the list web page

  3) Complain to the list admins and/or list

  4) Write a procmail rule to mailbomb everybody who posts to the list

(4) is way more fun than dealing with lawyers.
