[OTR-users] Installing patch for Gaim2.x

[tehownt tehownt]

Hi,

I have posted on many user lists, including some that make some really
stupid obfuscation (like replacing @ by at etc.), but I haven't recieved any
spam yet, 2 days after having posted on otr-gaim userlist, I have recieved
10 spam mails (that were'nt even flagged as spam by gmail). I've searched
for my email adress in google and the second link was for the mailinglist :/
Plus, if I want to use a throw-away mail, how people that would want to
contact me, would be able to do so ?
I'm sure you guys can find a way to do something about it, it doesn't seem
that hard at all, does it ?

Anyways, that is not really the prime purpose of that mailing list,
Thank you.
