As the listadmin, I'd like to apologize for some recent lists mail loss. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
A spammer managed to get a subscription confirmation email send to a |
| 4 |
spamtrap address, that promptly caused the lists server to be listed on |
| 5 |
a blacklist for 12-14 hours. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
During that time, approximately 2000 list deliveries were rejected due |
| 8 |
to the RBL. First recorded rejection was around Feb 1 00:20 UTC, last |
| 9 |
recorded was Feb 1 13:35 UTC. |

I've included full log details in a blogpost: |

If you know anybody that runs similar spamtraps, please ask them to |
| 15 |
ensure list confirmation requests are NOT treated as spam. |
