mail server hacked?

2005-05-16 Thread Steve Cohen
My mailbox has suddenly filled up with large volumes of German-language 
email that appear to be of a racist anti-Turk nature.  (I don't speak 
German).  All of this email has a To: addresses that are from 
phony-sounding lists at apache.org.  I can see minotaur.apache.org in 
the headers of all of them.  Was there some sort of exploit that allowed 
this email to be sent through the Apache servers?  Or is this some new 
form of hackery that allows the email to appear as if it has come 
through the Apache servers?

It's a new (return of an old) virus (Sober) that was flying past the spam 
rules. The Infra list has a thread about it and the admins seem to be 
sorting things out.
