[asterisk-users] Spammer direct replying to those posting on the users list
We apparently have a spam bot subscribed to the list and replying *directly* to anyone who posts on the list. The E-mails, generally use the name Alyssa or a Katie in the mail and have images attached. They come from a variety of addresses that so far don't appear subscribed to the list. However spammers don't typically subscribe to lists at the addresses they send from or appear to send from. This is just a notice that we are working on it and doing what we can. -- Digium's Asterisk Development Team Check us out at: http://digium.com & http://asterisk.org

This filters out anything being sent to that address *without* a Received: header mentioning lists.digium.com: :0 * ^To.*asterisk_list * !^Received.*lists.digium.com asterisk_unwanted (when I am satisfied that it does not lose anything legitimate, I probably will change the last line to /dev/null .) -- AJS Note: Originating address only accepts e-mail from list. If replying off- list, change address to asterisk1list at earthshod dot co dot uk .
