They claim that cvs.zope.org sent mail to one of their "spamtrap"
addresses (I had to try twice to get an image whose text *I* could
read).  Their procedure for getting support (i.e., to get delisted) is
invasive and ugly;  I wouldn't bother, myself, either.

If they allow DoS by having malicious folks sign up mailing addresses to
their spamtrap stuff, nothing we can do will preent the same jerk from
doing it again.
