Today I have 5 spam messages, sent yesterday, addressed to users@lists.opensuse.org :(
They are all sent by User-Agent: HyperKitty on https://lists.opensuse.org/
I've noticed previously that pretty much all the spam I receive from this list are sent in the same way. So if it's too much to ask that the filters for this source be made stricter, can I suggest that we simply ban people from submitting mail to the list in this way?
Such traffic makes up less than 1% of the messages to the list, so we won't be losing much.
Hyperkitty is the mailinglist software.
I believe HyperKitty as a User-Agent means the 'mail' was submitted via the web interface rather than via a 'proper' MUA. If people can't be bothered to send mails to a mailing list in the normal way then I suggest they use the forum for support instead, and again, I suggest we stop allowing this form of submission of mails.
I would guess that either the spam bypassed our filters, or was incorrectly approved by the moderator.
Ciao, Marcus
