Spam on the list
Lately I have noticed a massive increase in SPAM on various FBSD lists. Do we not have some sort of filter? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Spam on the list
I have to agree. I thought my spam filtering rules got messed up in my mail client, but after further investigation I noticed that they were fine. Any thoughts? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Thoenen Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2006 10:03 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Spam on the list Lately I have noticed a massive increase in SPAM on various FBSD lists.

Re: Spam on the list
Yes indeed, this spam is sent to the list itself. I was very puzzled when I woke up this morning. The spam seems to be in russian.

It would probably help a lot if the list owner installed the spamassassin plugin in their Mailman. We're using this on several technical mailing lists we host, and it has done a great job of limiting the quantity of spam that makes it through to the lists.

I'm pretty sure that some spam filtering is/has been done in the past. IIRC, it's one reason that the FBSD MX's run (ran?) Postfix. I imagine that the filters are still in place ... these lists have such a long history on the 'Net, and are very public (with archives all over), so spam bots could hardly avoid grabbing the list addresses . So, either the spam is smarter, or something's regressed. And, actually, most of what I'm seeing is English, and from a similar source. So, the other possibility, besides random spam, is that ... well, I'll let you guess, but it also happens occasionally. Most likely it will be temporary; I'd be fairly confident that somebody with control of said server is or will soon be aware of the issue and is doing or will soon do something about it.

I think it broke after upgrading it to a newer version. It should be fixed soon. Kris pgp8slQzHOiae.pgp Description: PGP signature
