Hello, The Softpedia website sends an email to everyone that register or uploads something at PyPI. This is clearly a spam and their website don't care about our projects.
I am not sure if they use the PubSubHubbub thing, but I was wondering how we could prevent these unsolicited mails. If they use PubSubHubbub, maybe we could set up a black list of subscribers people can manage at their level, if they reconstruct the emails by reading the RSS feed, maybe we should not publish this info (even with the @ transformed into " at ").
