I will be cleaning up the list later this weekend. That offender has being doing that for a long time and others seem to have had out of offices for about 6 months. On a similar note and more as an FYI, I can get up to 50 / 60 spam mails a day sent to the list and on average about 3 / 4 virus's. As I have said before many of the virus payloads originate from companies and people that should know better. I am going to chat to the sys admins but I may adopt a policy of removing anyone with the following 1. Out of Office 2. Human Spam Control 3. Virus Payloads -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Wiesmann [mailto:awiesmann () swordlord org] Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 8:04 AM To: webappsec () securityfocus com Subject: Message to moderator.

This is absolute nonsense in a maillist for every poster would have to whitelist herself with that subscriber. Imagine what happens when this strategy becomes common among all of us... I would vote for you to unsubrscibe that subscriber, he is poluting the mail traffic. Meanwhile could you please ask the list to not send holiday / away messages for I hate to get flooded only because I posted to a maillist... Best regards, Adrian
