I saw your post last week Sorry for the inconvenience! I have been investigating on your behalf. OpenOffice.org is behind several layers of spam blocking, but (as it sounds like you're aware) spam-blocking is a constant war of escalation, and some leakers get through. If you'll forward the raw message headers to OO.o representatives, along with a report, we can try to get them added to the rule set. As to how the spammer came up with that address in the first place: your login to OO.o is a usable email address (lo...@openoffice.org); that's how the mail lists and bug system work. The (somewhat out of date) software version running on OO.o does expose these email addresses in some publicly accessible, web-crawlable places, including the mail lists that undergird the issue system, so it's not hard to imagine ways for these addresses to leak out to spam hauses. We (CollabNet) have made significant improvements in this area recently, but these upgrades have not yet been accepted for update onto this particular site. ----- jr -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/spam-from-collab.net-tp29559514p29641603.html Sent from the openoffice - discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-h...@openoffice.org
