It looks to me like the [email protected] input filters have been compromised -- I am getting junk mail spam from the sex trade via the Elecraft server. I see that "QTH.COM" appears to be the underlying service, so perhaps it is the source of the junk? I have complained to the webmaster at Elecraft, who says that he can do nothing, although in my experience as SO of several list servers, I don't see this as true.
Someone (a legitimate someone) on this list suggested one should simply ignore the specious stuff, but I don't agree. If it is QTH.COM that is at fault, it is time to switch ISPs. Just hoping it will go away is entirely the wrong approach...instead, it will just get worse and worse. I have supported QTH.COM with cash contributions in the past, but it looks like a lot of this has been wasted. My ISP removes ~100 such messages a day from my email stream, but because [email protected] is a permitted contributor to my email, there is little my ISP or I can do about this mail, other than blacklisting the elecraft server. I am loath to do this. If this is a spoofing attack, then Elecraft should consider changing its list server name. Reaction?
