mailing list problem - Pierre

[John E. Malmberg]

Apparently for some time, the mailing list is receiving unsubscribe 
messages from an auto-responder to viruses or spam that is spoofing the 
samba.org domain.

The mailing list managers at samba.org thought they had a block on this, 
but apparently it is not working yet as they have just been informed.

These messages are not showing up on the gmain.network.samba.vms 
newsgroup gateway to the mailing list, so I am not seeing them.

The messages are originating from:
