I've banned the email address below. There's a sustained signup bot
targeting lists ( see
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technica…
). It's unclear if this email address was a recent signup from that signup
bot, but the email smells of malice.
This list is intentionally open for signup without the approver of a list
administrator. I don't want us to have to approve every single member
signing up.
For what it's worth, the anti-junk capabilities of the mailman software, as
well as most recipients' email providers, should generally suppress junk
email even if the source account was setup under the signup bots, although
there's no way to guarantee perfect protection. As always, treat
attachments with suspicion and double check links before clicking.
Happy Friday.
