Received an e-mail from skampus at gmail dot com with the following
content, I do not know if the problem was due to the update done on
osgeo6:

mail content:
hi,
it seems that someone has hacked all the QGIS mailing lists on nabble,
deleting posts and sending spam.
the original mailing list mails were not damaged [1], but only on nabble.
is it possible to do something?

thank you

Comment (by andreaerdna):

It seems now that:

1) the QGIS and probably all other OSGeo forums on Nabble don't retrieve
and store anymore the incoming messages from the associated mailing lists

2) the messages posted in the forums, by users subscribed also to the
mailing lists, are not forwarded anymore to the associated mailing lists

3) the text of a lot of messages which was previously available in the
forums result unavailable and replaced with "CONTENTS DELETED The author
has deleted this message."
See, for example:

http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/QGIS-Developer-no-collections-
displayed-in-wfs3-td5488872.html

http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/QGIS-Developer-It-s-time-to-
contribute-to-the-Changelog-for-QGIS-3-20-td5488144.html

This is also very bad because now it is impossible to make a text search
among the messages already posted, reducing dramatically the knowledge
accumulated over the years in the mailing lists.

The third issue was reported also for other forums on Nabble:

Looks like the underlying issue has been fixed and contents show up again.

Comment (by andreaerdna):

jsanz: are the forums on Nabble retrieving the incoming messages from the
associated mailing lists and the messages posted in the forums, by users
subscribed also to the mailing lists, forwarded to the associated mailing
lists?

Comment:

Sorry Andrea, you are definitely right. As you can see in the topics view
for the full organization, no new content is being archived by Nabble.

http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/OSGeo-org-f3681316.topics.html

This takes us again to the point of having to consider Nabble as a broken
service that is in fact not under OSGeo's full control. You can read more
about the status of the service and the troubles the maintainers are
facing on this thread

http://support.nabble.com/The-Future-of-Nabble-td7605923.html

Nabble has been very useful to provide more friendly access to the mailing
lists archives, but unfortunately, I don't see how we can continue
leveraging it.

Any ideas are welcome.

Comment (by jsanz):

I've added a note in the Nabble front page pointing to this issue and
stating that at this moment Nabble is not receiving posts from the server.

On the other hand, admins from QGIS and GDAL are re-enabling posting on
Nabble on the forums they have permissions, overriding the global
settings. For that reason, I won't do any more spam cleaning work there.

Comment (by andreaerdna):

Maybe admins from QGIS and GDAL forum on Nabble are not aware of the
reason of the issue and they are trying to fix it changing the
permissions.

Could it be the case to case to contact them (and all other admins), if
somebody knows their addresses?

Fair enough Andrea, added the addresses of the Nabble listed admin groups
as CC on this ticket.

Hi admins, please take a look at this ticket.

There is no QGIS Italian administration group, but I can confirm your
email is the global QGIS Administrator group along with Paolo and Matteo.
Not sure what may be going on, sorry.
