I'm just sort of watching this thread casually, so I don't have all the facts... But is that stopping me? Noooo.
I have gotten the spam message in the past too, and I suspect I'll get it for this one too. I have no desire to validate my email address on their system either. It sounds like someone sent out a test emailing to all the subscribers to see who the "offender" is, and I don't know what the result of that test was. I also know nothing of what kind of access the maintainers have to the list software but I have some ideas. I am thinking if the test email didn't produce any results, the address it was sent from was probably pre-validated. Regardless, if this is going to become a popular problem, is there any chance that the list software could send an additional email from a non-debian.org address to new people as they subscribe to weed them out? Is there something written in the "policy page" which identifies this as abuse of the list and allows kicking people off the list? I'll post another note if i don't get the antispam message for this note. OR is this problem: person A posts, List sends note to person B, person B automatically forwards on to person C and person C sends the antispam thing back to person A? As a final suggestion, if these people can be identified, would putting them into digest mode help the problem? S. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
