for months and perhaps years, the osgeo mailing list

     osgeolive Administrator Authentication

has been quiet, almost zero spam.. three or four a month or similar.
Starting on 09Nov23, spam is on the list.. first set of twelve msgs, next
set is eighteen msgs.. Not "terrible" but why did this begin now?

Comment (by strk):

Nothing changed in Mailman configuration, it's just happening that more
spammers are trying to send spam to the list, I guess. This is why most
lists (including the LIVE one) require subscriptions, right ?

I'm not sure there's much to do here, other than maybe adding overall spam
filtering on the incoming email, which could be better handled in ticket
#3009

I inspected the archives and could not find a mail like that.
