Spam being posted to the SymPy mailing list

[Oscar Benjamin]

Hi all,

There are many spam messages being sent to the SymPy mailing list. So
far I and others have deleted and blocked these from the moderation
queue. I'm not sure what has prompted the sudden urge to promote what
look like Indonesian gambling websites on the SymPy mailing list but I
guess that is just the internet these days.

The last message I blocked looked a bit more like someone testing the
mailing list rather than trying to send spam but the message had no
meaningful content so I blocked it anyway. If anyone is trying to post
here and would like not to be blocked then they should include some
meaningful text in the message.
