Description Mike Doty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-12 12:30:14 UTC 
2 exact same emails 24 minutes apart were sent to gentoo-amd64@list.gentoo.org containing a missing person report.  Upon further invesitigation, the spammers are :
Expedite Email Marketing .com
Division of Expedite Media Group, Inc.
245 West Roosevelt Rd.
Building 15 Suite 109
West Chicago, IL 60185 USA

Phone: (630) 876-8066
Fax:   (630) 876-8146

Email: info@expedite-email-marketing.com

The offensive MX appears to be bohemic.com ([209.59.14.176]) hosted at bostondatacenters.com

I'll attach both the original message and the message with html removed.

Comment 5 Andrea Barisani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-12 14:54:35 UTC 
Changing bug title, please let's use this bug to track all spam on lists.gentoo.org.

I removed bohemic.com subscriptions and added a subject filter. Please comment
the bug if this or other spam happens again.
Comment 6 Mike Doty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-13 08:25:47 UTC 
received the same "Missing Person Report" for devrel@gentoo.org.
Comment 7 Andrea Barisani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-13 11:20:03 UTC 
devrel@ is not a list, so it doesn't apply here.
Comment 8 Lance Albertson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-18 21:57:46 UTC 
This still an issue?
Comment 9 Mike Doty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-19 07:14:47 UTC 
no spam for a while...
