The stuff that gets through has a low spam score (check the headers). Maybe the spamassassin setup needs tuning, I wouldn't know how. There certainly is a lot of spam, as a legacy of debbugs refusal to obscure email addresses published on the web. Almost all of the spam comes in to emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com addresses. If it's ever possible to drop that, there should be much less spam.
