Some "funny guy" recycled the mailing list archive and reposted that to the list. Thanks to those that have alerted us quickly, I catched almost 3000 messages before they even left the server, corresponding to over thousand individual such posts. I'm not yet sure what the purpose of this was. Possibly an attempt to generate an amplifying backscatter attack. Note that apparently many such posts also went *directly* from "funny guy" to recipients, (not via our mailer). Those may or may not continue, and we won't be able to do anything about those. For now, things on our list server are back to being more tightly moderated. If you get more of these, please check the headers. If they went through our server(s), let me know. If not, feel free to notify me anyways.
