Not just mozdev: Live 555 mailing list. http://lists.live555.com/pipermail/live-devel/2009-November/011475.html Dirvish mailing list http://old.nabble.com/Administrivia:-zeusmail.org-td26201838.html Quote: "Spamsign; I moderated them.

You're right, what you saw is apparently the result of automated registrations, supposedly carried out by spammers to be later able to send spam though these mailing list without having their emails help for moderation. I have deleted 58 zeusmail.org users' subscriptions to individual mailing lists, all of which had been subscribed two days ago. Running the following command on thier Mailman logs should help other admins to determine whether they may have been hit by the same issue. > grep -E '^\w{3} [0-9]{2} [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2} [0-9]{4} \([0-9]{1,5}\) [._[:alnum:]-]+: new [a-z][a-z]+\.[a-z][a-...@[^,]+, via web confirmation$' /var/log/mailman/subscribe http://mailman.ccsds.org/pipermail/moims-dai/2009-November.txt I've been seeing a number of subscription requests from a number different names but all from zeusmail.org to this list and other lists. When I request an introduction from the addresses, I don't get a reply. Unless I hear objections, I'm just going to start rejecting any subscription requests from zeusmail.org. https://lists.infrae.com/pipermail/silva-general/2009-December/001910.html We got subscription requests to three Silva mailing lists for three different names from zeusmail.org. Spamsign; I moderated them. Unless I hear otherwise, I will block that domain.
