Hi SAC,
since I monitor all subscriptions to the GRASS mailing lists, I noticed
bulk
subscriptions to various of our lists at the same time, all from the same
domain
with likely random user names.
Looking on the list server, this currently accumulates to:
{{{
find_member apotmail.com | grep found | wc -l
259
}}}
Apparently we are not alone:
http://www.mentby.com/Group/svlug/probablehaus-domain-apotmailcom.html
I would suggest to bulk-unsubscribe them as mailman admin and block
that domain to avoid a mess in the future in many OSGeo lists.
Markus

Comment (by strk):
Still 128 members in 128 in 66 mailing lists. Should we assume they are
still spammers ?

For the record, at the time of writing LDAP has no entry of users with
@aptomail.com mail address
