Some clever spambot seems to have scraped a bunch of addresses out of the archives and is sending spam with multiple addresses on the From: line through IETF and IRTF mailing lists. Surely I'm not the only one who's seeing it.

Given the amount of legitimate mail with multiple From: addresses (none, in practice) a quick shim in front of Mailman should deal with it until someone can go fix the underlying code.

Such messages are not the only problem. RFC-i list receives messages "from" internal Mailman addresses (*-bounces@... and *-request@...), that is impossible. See, eg. this one:

Even provided this is the Fool Day's joke, those who dared to send surely has not very healthy sense of humor.
