I have proof...  I use numbered, tracked e-mail addresses everywhere.  I've
already changed addresses on the freebsd lists once (after 2 weeks of
membership) and am already receiving it at the new address.  

Pita...  One thing I do aside from other counter measures is I wrote a little
script that scrapes the active spammer list from spamcop.net and null routes
all the ip addresses.  I sort it, uniq it, and keep it trimmed down to the last
400 entries or so.  Does a pretty good job too.
