Spam

Hi,

Do the list admins have any plans to combat the spammers that are 
spoofing Kevin Fenzi to bypass the moderation queue?

Could we please at least hold his messages for moderation? Maybe he 
could manually approve his own messages, as annoying as that would be. 
Though I don't know what we would do if they start spoofing anyone else.

They're hitting desktop@ too, so we need to take care of both lists.

I haven't seen any spam on the devel list.  I even checked my spam 
folder.  Maybe the messages are being sent directly to you, not the list?

They're being sent to 389-devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org (whatever that 
is). I can see in the mail headers that they're passing through 
Fedora's SMPT servers and failing spam checks. I assume the spam checks 
lose out to Kevin being subscribed to the list.

I have received a few on the development mailing list.

Hello,I received two spam emails, one in users and one in devs.  Both
are exactly the same.If someone can take care of them, I would be
grateful.
Thanks,Sylvia

We are aware of this and have been dealing with whack-a-mole in trying
to fix it.

At this point they are hitting the lists with various names and kevin
has worked so far. I expect they will just move to anyone else
afterwords.

They are hitting all the lists.

We are looking into how this is happening. Kevin is not specifically
subscribed as kevin(a)fedoraproject.org and only a few of the large
number of emails sent with the Kevin(a)fedoraproject.org were getting
through. At this point we have put a specific block in place and are
investigating how to make a permanent fix.

We will update this when we have figured it out.
