What's going on here is that this guy is creating local newsgroups to distribute these lists into. Unfortunately his news <---> mail gateway is running in both directions, so anything sent to the gateway e-mail address is getting fed back into the list posting address and we're all seeing it. Whether this is acceptable practice is a policy question for the freebsd lists administrator to deal with. In the mean time I would suggest addressing any complaints to the lists admin and to the address in his X-Complaints-To: header, usenet@news.kharkiv.net. -Mitch On Fri, 28 Jul 2000, Justin Stanford wrote: > Thanks:) > > I never expected the mail I wrote to freebsd-security-m@kharvi.net to > end up on the list :P > > Regards, > jus > > -- > Justin Stanford > 082 7402741 > jus@security.za.net > www.security.za.net > IT Security and Solutions > > > On Fri, 28 Jul 2000, Poul-Henning Kamp wrote: > > > > > I have added a mail-filter which I hope should stop this as a temporary > > measure. > > > > Our Postmaster will take over when he comes online. > > > > Poul-Henning > > > > In message <Pine.BSF.3.96.1000728120943.98205J-100000@haldjas.folklore.ee>, Nar > > vi writes: > > > > > >On 28 Jul 2000, Justin Stanford wrote: > > > > > >> Who are you, and why am I getting damned freebsd-security subscriptions > > >> messages from freebsd.org's majordomo in my mailbox? > > >> > > > > > >Somebody seems to be subscribing several lists to themselves, if i read > > >the messages right.
