I just had another attempt at working out how the spam from [email protected] is being sent to each person who posts. As a manager of vim_use I have exported the current subscriber list which shows email address, nickname, time joined, delivery method The only entry matching the pattern \<139\> shows an email address of the form (the "j.smith" is made up): j.smith.139 -at- gmail.com Three other entries match pattern "139": 1. <long user name, mostly digits> -at- n5.nabble.com 2. <user name of digits> -at- qq.com 3. A gmail.com user with "139" in nickname. No entries match pattern "1365" (my mail has a couple of "mailto" links with target 13657854020 -at- 139.com). Google translate shows this for a spam message: When you send mail, the mailbox has not been activated. We have to send the SMS notification Ta activation mailbox, check your e-mail. As of when you receive this message, you activate and read the letter sent to the following email as follows: ... Perhaps it is a subscriber using a system that forwards mail to a 139.com address, or a broken attempt to mirror the vim_use mailing list inside China, or some scam. If anyone has some ideas for how to remove this irritation, or any further checking I might do, please post here or direct to me. John -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
