Yes, there is a bit of spam getting through, but it is not enough to annoy
me. I just hit 'report spam' in my Gmail account and I do not get any more
mail from that user.

If I happen to come home one day and I have 25 spam emails due to the
gateway, then I might unsubscribe and use google groups or some other means
to interact with the community.

Until then, I will just use the spam tools my email provider has. There are
many more emails I get that are quality than are spam ;-)
