Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: Apotmail spambots on mailing lists

[this is for those of you who run mailing lists of Wikimedia ] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Asaf Bartov <abartov(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 4:54 AM Subject: [Foundation-l] Apotmail spambots on mailing lists To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List <foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> [this is to those of you who run mailing lists] You may have noticed a deluge of mailing list subscriptions from sensible.names(a)apotmail.com -- these are definitely not real people; in all likelihood, the operator's goal is e-mail address harvesting, or worse. Perhaps it would save some of you time to be aware of this and reject these subscribers (on our subscription-by-approval lists, that is) point blank.
