Hello. Recently I've received couple of "Your message to freebsd-foobar awaits moderator approval" messages. The lists were freebsd-www, freebsd-newbies, freebsd-sparc64, and freebsd-test. Surely I didn't send them(spams) to the lists. It seems that some bad guy modifies its From: header to mine and sent spams to lists, which is quite annoying. Now I've canceled all the messages as instruction said. Actually I didn't unvail my e-mail address except an send-pr some months ago. I think spammers are collecting emails from pr page and abusing them. Can the pr pages be modified to convert originators' email like this: someone@somewhere.com -> someone at somewhere.com ? I think that will protect originators' mailbox from spammer's bots to some degree. Thanks again for all your splendid works. ;-) Bye.
