Changing e-mail address of list is something I don't want.
The official e-mail address for alsa-devel mailing list was always 
alsa-devel at alsa-project.org (even in time when this list was on 
sourceforge). Unfortunately, vger mailing list does not accept simple 
redirected e-mails from alsa-devel at alsa-project.org so I postponed any 
actions.

I tried to count some statistics and at the time spamassassin and 
mailman filtering rules catch 92% of spam messages coming to alsa-devel.
Unfortunately remaining 8% means 20 spam messages daily (without 
moderation). Could moderators confirm this value?
