Greetings.
Can anyone explain to me why this spam E-mail made it to the list? I see a lot of spam being sent to this list, but in this particular case, one of the mailing lists I run also received the same identical message.. which I find odd.
Did they intentionally target mailman powered lists? I find it more odd that for both mailman-developers and my list, subscription/confirmation is required, but I find no trace of any addresses with the header domains or From: address, which would indicate to me there is some way around the subscription process, or that they came up with a scheme to go through the sub/confirm and then unsubscribe. Seems like a lot of trouble just to send spam though...
Am I missing something here?
