The anti-spam plugin doesn't catch spam out of the box, but requires
configuration and bayes training that needs to be done by each of
the project admins. I've done some of that for ossim which was being
still hit these days, but don't know how good that was (especially as
there was no candidate "ham" reported).

The command to remove accounts is documented on the wiki, but it takes
a LDAP administrator password to run.
