I agree, in fact there is an alioth ticket opened about this:
http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=302530&group_id=1&atid=200001

What you can do is put in a filter for the info@*.* addresses so that
any email coming from there will get automatically put on hold and
requires you to approve them.

You should have a look at the archive to see how crazy this is:
