Hmm... after I sent my last message to you, I got two other ones. Header of 
one was:

So irrtoolset@localhost seems to be open for spam. Just in case, I 
unsubscribed from everything.

Yes, that is true. But receiving two or more spam messages every hour is too 
much.

I CC'ed the anti-spam-wg now, but I had to guess its address. www.ripe.net 
does not make this list's address publicy visible, apparently an anti spam
