Hi all,
We have been receiving tens of subscription to our mailing list ( wikimedia-ng@lists.wikimedia.org) from aol.com addresses. Today alone we have received over 30 subscription from that domain addresses and we find this very problematic. I'll need the help of a more experienced list administrators in dealing with this.
Thank you,
Isaac
A couple of days ago we had exactly the same issue on the edit filter mailing list. It seemed to come through in a single burst and then stop, though. We haven't had any issues since.

I take it back, we're now having the same issue with the Wikipedia-Library mailing list, and the edit filter mailing list spam has resumed. Is this happening on every list?

This is being discussed in detail on listadmins@wikimedia -- all list admins should consider joining that v. low-traffic list.
I hope we can find a solution other than banning the entire aol network... We should let aol know as well.
