[My first attempt to send this email bounced, guess why....]
I'm not a particularly sophisticated anti-spam activist, but I'm curious
how the following happens: someone has managed to sneak in the same
(very obvious) spam sequence (v**gr*, dioxyexpialadocious or whatever
they're trying to sell) onto 2 pages, twice this week. The curious
thing is that, despite being subscribed to all pages and including
trivial changes in my subscriptions, I have not received any
notification of the changes.
The spam also does not seem directed at exclusively at Moin, since it
includes <div> </div> links.
I have now activated the
from MoinMoin.util.antispam import SecurityPolicy
which was deactivated due to errors in a previous version.
But how were the spammers able to edit the wiki without me finding out?
Robert.
