I think, as with many things, we need to wait for the WMF to update mailman. I'm no expert, but...

We just had a phishing mail come through to wikimediauk-l a few days ago. The email wasn't sent by the poster - but by someone else using his email address. His university gave some advice, but I'm not sure what they mean nor how to effectively implement this using any settings we have in Mailman ... so in the general case, is there anything we can do about this type of phishing mail?

Hi all,
Please see below message regarding the phishing message on the Wiki mailing lists.
Are we able to provide the ‘pure mail headers’?
Best,

Hello Ewan
The mail admins have taken a further look at this and have added the following information:
'The quoted message is a digest containing the scam message and not the original scam message. It contains no information to show where the original came from as it only shows an excerpt of its headers.
However, it does *apparently* contain a from address like
Ewan.McAndrew@ed.ac.uk< liane.eichenberger@buendes-bueroservice.de>
and that *suggests* that the original *may* have come from liane.eichenberger@buendes-bueroservice.de - but it is impossible to be sure of anything without seeing the original. That would presumably require the cooperation of the list manager or any list member who receives individual messages rather than digests.'
In summary then ideally the UoE postmaster would need to see 'pure' mail headers from an individual message, as opposed to those from a digest.
Best wishes Jono

Hi,
full message header below ? please can you help.
NB: Wondering if this is actually a University of Edinburgh email account problem or if it is a gmail or Wikimedia mailing list being compromised problem however as I have received another phishing spam message from a different email address from this Wikimedia mailing list now (purporting to be from Jason Evans at the National Library of Wales).
