Hi SAC,
Not sure if there's anything that can be done but an admin of one of our
lists has noted me that he's been receiving some spam from the `list-
owner@lists.osgeo.org` address.
I'm admin of quite a lot of lists and I receive also some spam. My only
concern is that for some reason my client (gmail) almost always fail to
detect them so I have to remove it manually. You know, normally GMail is
quite good detecting spam but for some reason these mails look legit.
There's any way to prevent this spam to be filtered? I mean without
filtering **all** e-mails sent to the owner of course.
Cheers!

Comment (by EliL):
Some mail associated with being a list owner is in a technical sense not
spam and should not be classified as spam. The content is certainly spam.
As a list owner, I get a lot of "Uncaught bounce notification" from people
trying to spam the list but they are not subscribed. The email is
actually sent by "mailman-bounces@lists.osgeo.org" and is a valid,
legitimate email from OSGeo.

Comment (by Jeff McKenna):
As Jorge and Astrid have mentioned, I also get spam from (at)qq.com domain
constantly now (at least once a day, as I am the list owner of so many
OSGeo mailing lists). The subject is always written in Chinese letters
such as the latest email "Are you tired?..." from the address
2811743208@qq.com
Unfortunately I am not sure if we can handle this. Annoying for sure.

PS. yes I am tired, ha.

Actually I remember qq.com email problems before: checked and this was
handled through ticket# 2001 last year: "@qq.com gets rejected in postfix
now." https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/2001#comment:28
Will re-open that ticket.
