<P><FONT size=2>The EWG list has gotten spam bombed over the last few hours. I lost <BR>count at 500+ spams in my inbox.<BR><BR>I therefore logged into openfabrics.org and changed the site-wide <BR>password for Mailman (I have notified Jeff Becker of the new <BR>password). I then changed the EWG list to silently discard all non-<BR>member posts. Since I didn't know if other OF lists were being spam-<BR>bombed, I did the same for all OF lists as well.<BR><BR>The spam onslaught has now stopped.<BR><BR>I also notice that our mailmain installation is hopelessly out of <BR>date; it's v2.1.5 and the current version (including several important <BR>security fixes since v2.1.5) is v2.1.11. Someone needs to fix this <BR>ASAP.<BR><BR>--<BR>Jeff Squyres<BR>Cisco Systems<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>ewg mailing list<BR>ewg@lists.openfabrics.org<BR><A href="http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ewg">http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ewg</A><BR></FONT></P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
