[ewg] STOP the onslaught of EWG spam

[Ryan, Jim]

I sent the note below to the wrong Jeff, sorry. We still aren't closed on this. I don't have access to provide approval I typically need to do. Is anyone working this?

Thank you very much Jeff, and thank you for taking this action on the other
mail lists which were probably just as vulnerable - I has over 3400 "spam"
messages - did others have as many, or was I targeted? :-)!!!

The EWG list has gotten spam bombed over the last few hours.  I lost
count at 500+ spams in my inbox.

I therefore logged into openfabrics.org and changed the site-wide
password for Mailman (I have notified Jeff Becker of the new
password).  I then changed the EWG list to silently discard all non-
member posts.  Since I didn't know if other OF lists were being spam-
bombed, I did the same for all OF lists as well.

The spam onslaught has now stopped.

I also notice that our mailmain installation is hopelessly out of
date; it's v2.1.5 and the current version (including several important
security fixes since v2.1.5) is v2.1.11.  Someone needs to fix this
ASAP.
