I’ll certainly say this was frustrating for me.  I got a fair amount via NANOG and a fair amount directly as well all 
with an easy pattern to mitigate.

It took me until today to realize that the list was still working and did not dump me for rejecting all the messages at 
the SMTP layer.

My understanding is that only one person has access to the mail server to put it in emergency mode or mitigate the 
damage.  Perhaps someone can post the escalation policy for the list somewhere so it can be mitigated faster next time?
