Hi, there. I've just arrived from being overseas and my inboxes are in complete chaos, so I may be ignoring something already discussed, but I've just noticed that the wikimedia-co list has received several spam e-mails apparently coming from other list addresses, some of them as an answer for e-mails apparently sent FROM the wikimedia-co list itself.
As examples:
1. We got an email coming from wikimedia-l-owner@lists.wikimedia.org with this subject: [We] NF-e LQNIH793052 (Evelyn e Financeiro E R Ltda).
2. We got an e-mail from wikimedia-gh-owner@lists.wikimedia.org with the subject "Your message to Wikimedia-GH awaits moderator approval", saying that apparently we sent them an e-mail with this subject: "[We] NF-e LQNIH793052 (Evelyn e Financeiro E R Ltda)"
Does anyone else know about this? Any ideas on what's going on?

Hi Racso,
Spam and phishing are frequent problems on a number of Wikimedia email lists.
Email "from" addresses can be falsified. This is a known problem, and I've seen some discussion about ways that this can be combated.
I suggest that you create a ticket on Phabricator for the problems that you're experiencing, and tag the ticket with the #wikimedia-mailing-lists project.

Here's the existing task for the spoofed senders problem:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T160529
Unless what you're experiencing is different, Rasco, you can just subscribe to that task. If you do not have a Phabricator account, you can create one using your Wikimedia account [1].
