Several hundred messages from this list, I just deleted the whole lot.

Nope, want releasing old emails. Eric got it right: some email address is
playing back old messages, don't know why. It's 4:45am here, so I had to do
it on my phone, but I've unsubscribed the email address from the list.

The list admin interface kind of sucks from a phone, so I didn't see a way
to block/ban the address in addition to unsubscribing, but I'm hoping if
it's malicious that it won't start again before I'm properly awake.

Same here.

Maybe Jim released "some" old messages from SF spam quarantine. ;-)

Re: [Freedos-user] OT: What gives?

[Eric Auer]

Hi guys,

apparently somebody is re-sending old freedos-user emails from
[original name of person] , using content
between mid-2016 and today. Until early 2017, you will also see
ALL CAPS original names, but they have now fixed that. Almost
of those 500 mails came out in a burst that only took half an
hour. I suggest to block that email address from list posting
and kick their mails from the archives, otherwise it will look
as if those guys are great FreeDOS contributors...

Cheers, Eric

Yes, it happened to me, too. (BTW, nice way to clarify about a bunch
of spam, email the list!!!):-P

I'm not sure why this happened. I'm not a list admin either. But I did
notice this locally and quickly emailed the sysop [sic] of the alleged
spammer, and it seems to have stopped very soon afterwards. So,
hopefully the crisis has been averted (or was only temporary) and
won't resurface.

It was probably just some technical error on someone's end.
