Anyone else gotten bizarre personal replies to mailing list posts?

I just got the reply below sent directly to my personal account, and I'm confused about what's going on. If it's just a one off I'll chalk it up to random internet weirdness, but if other folks are getting these too it might be something the list admins should look into? Or... something? ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Hoi lam Poon <gillcovid19@gmail.com> Date: Fri, Apr 23, 2021, 02:01 Subject: Re: [Python-Dev] Re: PEP 654: Exception Groups and except* [REPOST] To: Nathaniel Smith <njs@pobox.com> Stop pretending, I can definitely get the key control file, your working group, all past actions and instructions cannot be cleared in front of me at all.

I had I and still don't know what's going on. Mine was in a response to a release announcement so it was extra weird. Here is what I received: I have now formally filed a final lawsuit against the manager of the python

Yes, I got one from the same address today. Thanks for pointing out these are individual peformances: it was annoying when I thought it was spam to the list. Although Hoi Lam Poon is a real (female) name, it may signify a generated lampoon. Jeff Allen On 23/04/2021 16:38, Nathaniel Smith wrote:

I just got one now from the same person on the dependabot thread.

FYI, I just force-unsubscribed this member (Hoi Lam Poon) from python-dev. Normally I don't do things like that, since, e.g, we have no way to know whether the sender address was spoofed in emails we get. But in this case Hoi's name has come up several times as the sender of individual spam, and if Hoi is actually a legit member they should have noticed and spoken up. Of course this can't stop them from spamming. Just intended to increase the effort for them, if they're determined to continue.
