I see that too.  Here are some things that can be done about it.

Whitelist monty-python.gnu.org in your access lists.

Are you serious?

I know what you mean, but I feel this is playing with symptoms. Given
the amount of spam gnu.org relays, the auto*tools's list policy finally
should be reconsidered.
Face it, this is not 1994 anymore, the internet has lost its innocence,
and badly maintained open lists like the auto*tools lists on gnu.org are
a relict of the past.

Is it really gnu.org lists or is it something else? I'm on the phpgroupware lists and the dotgnu lists and I have received NOT ONE SPAM and they are hosted by gnu.org. However, most of the mail I see from autoconf, automake and libtool seems riddled with SPAM, more than half.

Sorry, if this sounds like ranting,  but I feel something needs to
change.

Here's to hoping something can be done.
