The normal approach I believe would be to kick Aravindh Madhav off the list (This is not the first time he has sent stuff like this). sebmol@gmail.com and cormaggio@gmail.com are the list owners i believe. They would be the ones to talk to. (or just mail wikiversity-l-owners@lists.wikimedia.org I think) -- - Bawolff Caution: The mass of this product contains the energy equivalent of 85 million tons of TNT per net ounce of weight.

Is there a spam filter in wv mailing list? Can we report it to bugzilla?

Yes, sorry, I've now put this address on moderation - let me know if there is something else anyone thinks I could do to guard against these kinds of emails being sent in the future (most of which I presume are not malicious).

It's ultimately impossible. Whatever one does, some will always sneak through, and one can only deal with these after the fact. As long as the spam problem is kept within reasonable bounds, reasonable subscribers are not likely to be upset.
