The wiki used to relay through my personal linode (whichs runs 
bugs.koha-community.org) but as you can see something/one is trying to spam 
quite heavily.
What they are doing is entering email addresses that aren't their own so 
innocent people get mail, they then mark as spam and bugs.koha-community.org 
ends up in blacklists.
I've disabled the relay and removed bugs from the blacklists it was on. 
Hopefully Galen and the others who look after the wiki can come up with a way 
to stop it, or another way to confirm users.

Maybe something is badly "overwhelmed" at the wiki end? I just had a quick 
look at the User Creation Log 
<http://wiki.koha-community.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&limit=500&type=newusers&month=&year=>;
 
and there have been 500 "new" accounts created in the last two weeks. Most 
of them look like automated spammer sign-ups -- and quite frankly I don't 
think this community group could|would have shown such interest ;-}
