I manage the osgeo finland list with Pekka Sarkola. During the last 24 hours there has been over one hundred subscription attempts to the list from email addresses, which are more or less obviously fake.
I think the flood started with an email
I think I am being maliciously added to your list
Sent from my iPad
from "Michael Brock" (mikeandjanet@icloud.com) who was not subscribed when I looked at the list membership list. I did not answer to that email.
I've so far discarded all requests and permanently banned the addresses (see below) from the list.
I'm thinking about temporarily disabling subscriptions - Is it possible? I'm getting subscription requests sporadically every 10 minutes or so.
I've just set the subscription to require both confirm and approve - maybe that helps, I'm not sure.
