Hi folks,
You might have seen a couple of spam emails (with forged 'From' headers)
that got through earlier today. This was an attempt by someone (possibly a
script kiddie) to bring chaos to this mailing list.
The spammer's idea of inflaming people seemed to be to call people (and
Linux distributions) names. Luckily, he/she has succeeded in our
excercising out analytical skills (in trying to locate the perpetrator).
The intent seems to have been to show off skills in cracking and abusing
well known posters to this mailing list.
Please show restraint. Tens of posts showing your friendship for the
abused and hatred for the spammer are not going to help. If you want to
help, look at the headers of the spam email and see if you can trace the
culprit.
Thanks.
Your mock-Administrator of LI lists ;-)
