he might be right. a random bot is more likely to spam
user@email-addr-hidden than linux-audio-user@...
a compromise woud be la-user, la-dev , la-ann -
or user-ml@.. (mailing-list), etc. (but that's not catchy enough)
I'd suggest to alias the other way round:
if dev@email-addr-hidden is Spammed, you can announce and drop this feature
again while everyone with "linux-audio-dev@email-addr-hidden" in their
address book won't ever notice.
in short term dev@.. will have less SPAM than linux-audio-dev, and in
the long-run SpamAssassin will mark dup.-postings in blacklists..
OTOH; with dev@email-addr-hidden - we'd benefit from a shorter subject! [la-dev]
compared to [linux-audio-dev] - there are usually < 50 chars for subject
in a 80x24 terminal :) - for email shortcuts there is an addressbook and
personally I use "LAD" as nick for it.
