Glad you found the issue. I haven't seen this myself yet, but apparently there's a malicious campaign going on where mass subscription attempts are conducted via TOR (if you're not familiar with TOR, it's a way to obfuscate the source and target addressas of a connection). One person reports a subtantial reduction in such malicious subscriptions: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/BHOATUV7DPWYVEFVGT652YTYYE3XXMHC/#BHOATUV7DPWYVEFVGT652YTYYE3XXMHC Steve _______________________________________________ Mailman-users mailing list -- mailman-users@mailman3.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@mailman3.org https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.mailman3.org/ Archived at: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message/NH4EERK2HSXZGU4QJBMPPMY5NHVK73BE/ This message sent to arch...@mail-archive.com
