I have been getting some spam at this email address as well since 
participating in the group. However, this address was exposed in at least 
one other place, so I don't know for sure.

The program used for archiving the lists is MHonArc, which has an anti-spam 
module (see http://www.mhonarc.org/MHonArc/doc/resources/spammode.html) 
Perhaps the administrators can turn it on in order to make sure that 
addresses are not being harvested. The IETF mail administrator can be 
reached at mailadm@ietf.org (from https://www1.ietf.org/maillist.html) and 
the person that handles our list is Jakob Munoz who can be reached at 
jmunoz@ietf.org (from https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/asrg) GNU 
MailMan, which handles the actual mailing list, might have anti-spam 
features as well. Alas, for all we know that could be spammers on the list 
as well who want revenge, also I highly doubt it.

On the last note, consider this little gem from the IETF's spam control 
policy page (https://www1.ietf.org/spamcontrol.html)

"The Anti-Spam Research Group of the IRTF is ignored by all policies to 
prevent interruption of service."
