Hi, I get the same annoyance, of course with varying text when I post to this list. Copying in r-sig-debian-owner at r-project.org for information. Johannes Am Sonntag, 20.

Very annoying, very "known" and broadly discussed by Martin Maechler (the overall mailing list contact / quasi-admin) for all of us as these are hosted at ETH Zuerich. No real solution besides cloaking. We think spammers actually subscribe but do not have full proof. Maybe it is just web archive harvesting.

The spam bots write there too, so my aggregate 'owner' folder for different lists I run has a few thousand unread mail. Don't expect a response from me as -owner, I just can't. Hence address removed.

Dear Robin This came up on R-help The thread is available in the archive https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help//2018-April/thread.html search for a thread subject Hacked. Martin Maechler's answer https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help//2018-April/454081.html gives the list owner's view.
