To confirm, I stopped sending "User unknown" almost two years ago.  All
mail coming in that doesn't have a legitimate user addressee is "dropped
on the floor".  100% of it was spam (about 6 months monitoring), so now
I don't even syslog or send warning messages to the process owner.

WRT the Flora archive URLs, I'll replace any on my private pages with
URLs to the no-spam archive that Fr延薗ic proposes to create.  Although
I have very little time to offer lynx-dev, I'll do what I can to find
Flora URLs in the Lynx docs and search for the corresponding links in
the new, no-spam archive.  Probably archives at Flora pre-1999 could
remain as is, i.e., only change for the years that spam outnumbered
legitimate posts (last three years?).

Fr延薗ic, do you plan on allowing non-subscribers to post?  (My own
view is that non-subscribers shouldn't be allowed to post, but the
last time we argued this I was in the [very small] minority.)
