I did receive something strange (text spam, no attachments), pretending to originate from the xml-commons-cvs listserver. (All cocoon committers are also committers of xml-commons by default.) I forwarded the email, with full headers, to the apmail alias. Obviously this is a worrying trend. I was already worrying about the fast increasing general email spam. We are more vulnerable because all opensource participants get their email address plastered across the Internet for free. Harvesting the legitimate and reliable IDs would be easy, i expect. (Cocoon probably makes it easier = shot-in-foot.) Ovidiu, your comment about not being able to do useful work has been at the back of my mind. I dread the day when the flood of email spam is too great. Now the origin is also in doubt. Email has been an excellent tool, were would we be without it. Christian, what are you suggesting with your PKI enquiry above. --David Crossley --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
