wtogami: Please can you unsubscribe "peter.whalley@xxxxxxxxxx" from the
list. He's spamming everyone.
This has been requested before:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-April/msg00449.html
And before that too. The problem is: he's not subscribed, at least not
at that address (it must be being forwarded to there from somewhere
else, and nobody knows which address that is).
Wonder what would happen if these were consistently forwarded to
something like SpamCop or something, and the block ended up in a DNSBL
somewhere. Figure someone at uol.com.br might find out where the forward
connection is and "remedy" the situation?
I've reported the problem to their abuse department, and (bizarrely) to
cert brazil, as suggested by the "remarks" section of their whois
record. Let's see if they can help..
It's probably simpler than that... I suggest we all actually fill out
his silly challenge-reponse thing, and then send him a few dozen emails
with megabyte-sized attachments. Make sure each email includes a
message body saying something about not sending autoreplies to this
list. Surely the sysadmin would notice when the user's inbox starts
taking a could hundred meg (or gig)?
Note: I'm not advocating vigilantism here -- just suggesting a way where
we could get their attention (possibly the attention of the user, or, if
that fails, the attention of the sysadmin).
