similar to: Political Spam sent through several CentOS mailing lists

The CentOS team likes to offer an apology for the political spam mails which went through our mail servers earlier today. Due to the nature of mailing list software for public discussion groups, there aren't that many security measures which can be taken to check which mails are supposed to get through and which mails aren't. Total safety can only be had by a moderation of all lists -

OT Mailing List Spam This might be slightly off-topic but as the source of spam is probably a spammer getting emails from this list, I reported him and his service provider should cut off his/her ugly head. I got an email of the classic 419 scam from a "El Amir Assadallah" <rdjir001 at eircom.net>. This has just come if from the abuse department :- Dear Vandaman, Thank you for

Hi, Some people have suggested maintaining black lists and white lists to avoid spammers and allow legitimate callers into the network. However, the problem with this method is that the spammer's IP address might change due to DHCP. Today a spammer might get aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd and lets say that I put this address in my blacklist. To my annoyance, tomorrow a legitimate caller might get

Hello, everyone. I've proven to myself, via throw-away addresses, that individuals and robots sift thru archives and mailing list subscription lists, gathering addresses to sell on CD's to spammers. No list is immune, especially if it or its archives are available over the web. I've been spammed within a very short while of my address appearing on a posted message. If you go to

For example, 7984b47401f7f36475619abf2ff02de3b5ff0481 does not seem to have made it to any mailing lists. This makes things harder for me as release manager, as those changes are essentially landing under the radar. Can we please make sure all commits that get pushed upstream are sent to a -commits list? Who is the right person to ask about this? Thanks, Hans

Hello all, we're seeking people that could do our mailing list moderation, since we're getting about 15 to 20 spam bounces per day on our mailing lists (wine-announce, wine-bugs, wine-cvs, wine-devel, wine-patches, wine-users). Needless to say this amount has increased since we started doing it. Currently Ove Kaaven and me do the moderation stuff for all the mails that bounced due to the

Dear R-help mailing list readers, After some discussion among R foundation members (and friends), we have agreed that ``the spammer mafia (*)'' has momentarily won a battle: After more than ten years of open and free mailing lists devoted to R (development, use, etc), the increasing volume of spam {quadrupling within one year, I'm told by an expert} and the slickness of the spam

This is a shot out in the dark, but I figured it''s worth a try...especially in this job market. :) My friend and I are in the very early planning stages of a startup that will be politically focused. We intend to develop tools that will revolutionize and dominate the next generation of the politics. I am a developer with nearly 5 years of experience with Ruby & Rails and 8 years of

Unfortunately, the spammers in question appear to be human (of sorts). We're not sure what they're up to, but a common pattern is to post random text, or something copied from a generic bug report (like "able to add 6 item"), later followed by a comment containing a link or a file attachment. Presumably, it is some sort of click-bait scheme, but it could also be a covert

Hi, This topic has come up previously, across the R e-mail lists and the spammers need not be subscribers (but could be), but simply reasonably competent HTML scrapers. If you look at the online archives of the R lists, for example R-Devel for this month: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2016-December/thread.html <https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2016-December/thread.html>

I get two or three of these a day. They are not from Gmail but have a "reply to" address that is a Gmail account. The messages cone from an email account that passes SPF and DKIM. So the sender and reply domains differ, but that isn't unique. I have email that I need that arrives like that. I am on the Postfix list where this does belong, but I looked at the problem and decided it

Re: Per the discussions about spam on this list. Sending a confirming message to an unregistered poster is not a good idea. The return/reply-to addresses in spam is forged, and that is just adding to some victims e-mail. Filtering runs the risk that a legitimate message gets lost, and the sender does not realize it. Filtering is also the most expensive and innefficient way to deal with

This is not a job for dovecot. You should look into whatever is your MTA (exim, postfix etc) and implement the solution there. But my initial suggestion is to check SPF and DKIM of the email. Because I know that gmail does terminate spammers quick, but if you don't validate SPF or DKIM, you might be a victim of spoofed Gmail email. Best regards, Sebastian Nielsen -----Ursprungligt
