Moderators or list-masters, please tighten up the new-members process to block these spammers.
They have been trying to come up with a solution. The problem is that the spammers are using the HyperKitty web interface to the mailing lists, along with throwaway email addresses. It's a whack-a-mole situation.
I knew that spastic cat was nothing but trouble from day-one. Not only was the interface horrid, but now it appears it was a supply-chain attack and spam-bot/backdoor all rolled into one. The old listserve/mailman starts looking pretty good at this point. Here is to hoping they find a solution. I've got 90% spam from the list lately. And no, I don't need help with essay writing... :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
