#6923 spam to kde-owner@lists.fedoraproject.org is apparently DOS'ing my gmail account
Closed: Fixed 6 years ago Opened 6 years ago by rdieter.

A few days ago, I started receiving a large amount of oriental (chinese?) spam mail sent to kde-owner@lists.fedoraproject.org (apparently), which was getting sent to rdieter@fedoraproject.org and eventually forwarded to @gmail.com.

my gmail account is now being throttled (as far as I can tell) and I'm not receiving much/any legitimate mail :(

Yesterday, I tried adjusting
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/kde.lists.fedoraproject.org/settings/automatic_responses
to set "Autorespond to list owner" to use "Respond and discard message ", but it's not working as I expect. The same spam is still showing up in my gmail spam folder, as recently as 90 minutes ago.

Is it possible this is still backlogged somewhere in fedora infra? Any advice or help you can provide to alleviate this problem for me would be appreciated.


In the meantime, I've attempted to mitigate matters by changing my email in FAS to a different provider (@outlook.com)

This is probibly better filed in infrastructure. :)

postqueue -p | grep rdieter | wc -l

79316

So, yes, there's about 80,000 still queued. I will try and nuke them.

ok, nuked. Let us know if thats any better...

thanks (sorry for misfiling). I think we can close this and consider it resolved now.
