Mailing list activity

Filed under: Uncategorized — William Denton @ 7:39 am

There was a burst of activity on the mailing list this week, which is noteworthy, but a special mention should be made because those of you with tight spam filters may have missed it. One of my filters intercepted it all because it looked like a person sending mail directly from their home connection, which is usually trouble: host107-3.inist.fr looks like a consumer broadband machine (host107-3 matches 193.54.107.3). I assume this will be corrected soon, but if your filters are catching the list traffic too, you’ll need to either turn off the filter or whitelist the address.
