 Hi SAC,

 since I monitor all subscriptions to the GRASS mailing lists, I noticed
 bulk
 subscriptions to various of our lists at the same time, all from the same
 domain
 with likely random user names.

 Looking on the list server, this currently accumulates to:

 {{{
 find_member apotmail.com  | grep found | wc -l
 259
 }}}

 Apparently we are not alone:
 http://www.mentby.com/Group/svlug/probablehaus-domain-apotmailcom.html

 I would suggest to bulk-unsubscribe them as mailman admin and block
 that domain to avoid a mess in the future in many OSGeo lists.

 Markus
