[OSM-dev] Spam from OSM server?

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

   I suspect that there is something wrong with Mailman on our
machine. A few hours ago I received the following spam message (header
excerpt):

For all I can see, this mail really originated at the OSM mail server,
and it was routed to my mail address, despite being addressed to
"talk-za" of which I am not a member. 

At first I thought, maybe someone has sent spam to talk-za using my
address as the sender and the above is Mailman's rejection message,
but in that case both the To: and Subject: headers should be
different.

I have received similar spam addressed to dev at openstreetmap.org and
since I'm a member of that list I wasn't too worried - but the above
really puzzles me!

Bye
Frederik
