I've finally written a script that can be used to download attachments
from bugzilla and check if they are spam. The detection is quite crude -
it checks for a file that 'file' thinks is a HTML file. Then it checks if
the file contains '<script'. That results in a possible spam file that I
have to look at manually.
It was quite a bit of work as I found more than 110 spam attachments btw
:-(
As for the spam attachments, I don't know how to delete them. So what I've
done is instead to change the MIME type to 'application/spam'. This seems
to at least prevent the browser from automatically showing the HTML.
There's a list of the spam attachments on this page:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/BugzillaSpam
I'll try to run my script now and then, but some of you are likely to
detect them before me. If you do, then please change the MIME type to
application/spam
and add the number of the attachment to the wiki page:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/BugzillaSpam
(That way I know you've already done it, so I don't have to do it).
I would like to be able to run this script from aussie.lyx.org, but 'wget'
is not able to resolve e.g.
wget 'http://bugzilla.lyx.org/attachment.cgi?id=1615&action=view'
The result is as follows:
wget 'http://bugzilla.lyx.org/attachment.cgi?id=1615&action=view'
--09:42:07-- http://bugzilla.lyx.org/attachment.cgi?id=1615&action=view
=> `attachment.cgi?id=1615&action=view'
Resolving bugzilla.lyx.org... failed: No such file or directory.
Lars', do you think you could help here? A manual entry in /etc/hosts
perhaps?
Or if someone else can tell me how to access the attachments somehow from
aussie? (It should be possible as aussie is the machine that runs
bugzilla...)

PS. Here's a list of the attachments that I've tagged as spam (some were
already tagged of course).
