Hi Val! Itβs great to meet you, as it were! Thank you for your continued work with ClamAV.

It's good that you have now banned this troublemaker and his time here is over now and forever. Hans is in Germany, a typical name of a Faker or troublemaker π. Your PS is really neat: Not needed to explain something of you in detail, I do understood more I say β€οΈ. Some Steps in Live must be taken to going good - Chapeau Val, for this massive step. So, now we are going back to normal again π. kind regards Marc Von / From: Micah Snyder<mailto:micas...@cisco.com> An / To: Newcomer01<mailto:newcome...@posteo.de> Gesendet / Sent: Freitag, Januar 31, 2025 um 19:23 (at 07:23 PM) +0100 Betreff / Subject: Re: [clamav-users] Snyder fascist Hey everyone, I am kind of tickled to be targeted in this way. It's cute, if you know the backstory, and I kind of cute if you don't. Hans S. (koffie), I feel obligated to ban you for what is obviously offensive language even if I think it's funny. You already received 1 warning (see below). I recommend moderating your emotions better when you communicate with other communities in the future. For anyone who is curious, the backstory I'm aware of is as follows: Hans wrote to the clamav-users-ow...@lists.clamav.net<mailto:clamav-users-ow...@lists.clamav.net> account (i.e. the admin account for this mailing list) back on September 12, 2024. I never received this email, though I can see it in Hans next reply, dated December 10, 2024, wherein he said it was his third attempt writing to the mailer and worried no one was receiving it. It is the first email I can find in my inbox from Hans. On the same day, Hans attempted to subscribe with emails titled or containing the words "subscribe" from his koffie-email address and from another address. On December 13th Hans sent a message titled "Provocation and oppression since the first contact" to the clamav-users list and again received the automated response, "Please subscribe to the list in order to post." Then he immediately responded with a message titled, "mcfarland you provoke, oppress communication, subscribing, support" and sent to: supp...@githubsupport.com<mailto:supp...@githubsupport.com>, clamav-users-ow...@lists.clamav.net<mailto:clamav-users-ow...@lists.clamav.net>, and notificati...@github.com<mailto:notificati...@github.com>. For context, McFarland is our primary website administrator, working in a team adjacent to my own. I'm not really sure where Hans got his name from. Anyways... this was the first email I noticed, as I don't check the list as often as I probably should. I admit I am more distracted these days than I have been in the past, for a handful of reasons that I won't get into. I replied on the same day to explain that mailing list subscriptions do not require an action on our part and that I don't check the list admin inbox every day. I told them how to subscribe via https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users. In my response, I also warned that if you insult, berate, or post nonsensical content you will be banned. On Dec 25, 2024,β Hans successfully emailed the clamav-users mailer for the first time, asking if others could see their email because previous attempts did not get any response. See the email titled, "Cool Blocking by ClamAV". On a tangent, Merry Christmas! On Jan 6 through Jan 8, 2025, Hans asked for help with "cool blocking", sharing Freshclam log messages that indicate a DNS configuration issue which prevented them from looking up database.clamav.net. The log messages included: "Invalid DNS reply. Falling back to HTTP mode." and "Could not resolve hostname". In response, Lyle Giese correctly identified the issue as a DNS issue. Thanks, Lyle! Since the community correctly identified the cause of the issue and Hans did not reply after this, I made no attempt to assist. Hans' next message wasn't until Jan 30th, subject "Snyder fascist". So here are. Goodbye Hans! Cheers, Val P.S.: My name is Val now. It's a bit of a pain, but I've decided to rip off the band-aid and update my name at work. I haven't updated my email address/username yet. I might. I'm not sure. It's... a lot of work.

We all try to help with all of our knowledge and experience, because that's why this mailing list exists, but if we don't get any answers, how can we help? Right - it's impossible to help! If the thread is too difficult or requires help from ClamAV, i.e. Micah, the user can certainly send an e-mail directly to Micah, as his @cisco.com e-mail address is always visible. Can speak for me only, but if the free time exists, I get always answer from Micah! I really don't understand this fuss!
