I very seriously doubt that. The lists are, however, open to all comers as far as sending a message to most (if not all) Debian lists. To show that the messages are in fact coming through the Debian lists, you want to have a look at the Recieved: headers for the message. If it's gone through the Debian servers, then yes, it has been sent to a debian list submission address. You should be able to tell which list(s) by the info in the headers. > Since i've unsubscribed my old (e-mail) address from all Debian lists, > i've *never ever* received one only of this 'worm-mails' again!! > > After subscribing my new address, my inbox has been flooded with > this $#!t!!! > > Why? Possibly because the lists are being sent these messages, and it's just faithfully passing them on. Listmasters, if there is enough spare processing power, amavis with clamav does catch these - I'm presuming it would be a fairly straightforward thing to install. I understand if it's not practical to install however. - Matt
