I assume that are referring to the page at http://mail.dplx.com/.
That is a test page included with our operating system; we don't actually control the site in question. For more information, please refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ServerTestPage.
In the future, it might be better to contact their ISP's abuse address, which can be obtained through a whois lookup of their domain.
Thanks, Ricky
This is not the first time someone complains about the apache test page. I say we should make it clearer to people seeing that page that it's not spam or phishing. although the title of the page and the big header on top stating that it's a test page. maybe if we remove the fedora names out of it and just keep the default page that comes with apache it will minimize the number of complaints from people thinking that it's a spam.

No, it will just redirect the inquiries to the Apache Project instead.

Agreed (the Apache Project must get these emails *constantly*). I honestly don't expect non-technical people reporting a phishing site to read through the ``offending'' page quite as thoroughly as we'd like.
With this in mind, I have two suggestions to reduce this problem: * Make the Apache test page even more painfully obvious with a message explicitly stating not to email the Fedora Project (in bolded/emphasized text, if necessary). Although this would not make much of a short term difference, it might reduce these types of emails in the future. * Assuming that most complaints come through the footer link on fp.o, we could possibly replace the webmaster@fp.o link with a full ``contact us'' page (which would thoroughly explain when *not* to email this address).
Any other thoughts on reducing misdirected webmaster@fp.o emails?
Thanks, Ricky

You mean something like this? https://www.redhat.com/apps/response/web_contact.html I think that's a good idea. :) Regards,
