Mailinglist Archive: opensuse (2112 mails)

["Alexey Eremenko" <al4321@xxxxxxxxx>]

Strictly speaking, openSUSE mailing list is also spoofing email
addresses as I receive something like:

from    Amedee Van Gasse <amedee@xxxxxxxxx>
to      opensuse@xxxxxxxxxxxx

While in reality I should receive something like:
from    opensuse@xxxxxxxxxxxx
to      al4321@xxxxxxxxx

What reasons ?

This is because opensuse mailing list was under attack by spoofing spammers.
And we are defenseless...

Well, some professional can even send email from command-line,
effectively converting the PC into email client.
Unfortunately I can only use email-clients like Thunderbird or webmail.
