A spam speaking about Fedora ?!?
Why I think it's a spam ? Because the response adress towards yahoo
How spammer recovered my adress ?
Maybe it's a security failure of the infrastucture...
Please help me
Your statement makes no sense, and secondly, even if this was
coming
from the Fedora Infrastructure, you are writing to the wrong list.
If there was spam being sent using a fp.o alias, you have neither
provided any proof, nor are you contacting the right people.
Please direct this to the infrastructure list, or better, join
#fedora-admin, providing the headers of the entire message. If the
headers do not indicate that the message is sent via fp.o or Red Hat
mail servers,
and the only reason you think it has anything to do with fp.o, is a spam
email mentioning a web link, then please ignore the spam email, and
please do NOT contact anyone.
Thank you.
Regards,
Tristan
