What gives with the spam.
Alvin Starr
There seems to be a lot of spam coming through the open-iscsi mail list.
Any chance of getting something done about this?

Right now only members can post and if a non member posts I have to
manually allow it. I guess that had worked ok for a while. Now the
spammers are making accounts and bypassing this. Unless google groups
has some spam filtering that I do not know of, I think I will have to
change the settings so that new members are moderated.
If there is anyone that wants to help out on the list management let me
know.

How about moving the mailing list to vger.kernel.org?

Did you find a way to migrate a bunch of people easily or did you add
everyone manually?

When I moved stgt mailing list, I didn't either (you can't do either
on vger.kernel.org, I think). I just asked everyone to subscribe to
the new mailing list.

I directly wrote Google directly a few days ago - and previously had contacted Google Abuse at least 15 times. So far NO action. It's very frustrating. (I've attached the spam emails to all my requests). Looks like Google is "uninterested".
Perhaps if a lot of folks contacted Google, they'd take action (?).
The interesting thing is that I'm on a number of Google lists - and this is the only one which gets spammed.

Lyle

that list. As I thow away SPAM before reading, I don't really care where it came
from.

For the most part my spam filters do a good job in keeping the crap out
but because the open-iscsi list has been good for the most part I think
it has become auto-whitelisted.
I also have to run my spam filter a little bit more open to make sure I
don't get false positives since I am a sysadmin here.
I could go digging to fix it but the list should not be generating spam
in either case.

moderating the list hasn't killed the spamming members.
I have sent numerous messages to ab...@google.com attaching
the spam messages - and Google has done squat to kill the
spam.
I'm leaving the list...
