No worries. I meant it more as a heads-up than anything. > Two ideas. > > 1) Marty, by the looks of it, you have a LinkedIn account and have > gpxe@etherboot.org listed as the primary email.

Actually, after a bit of web searching, I found this: http://blog.linkedin.com/2007/10/05/the-role-of-an/ And somehow (and I'm sure I didn't do it intentionally) I had a number of bogus secondary "confirmed" email addresses in my linked-in settings, most of which are mailing lists. I wonder if this statement is related: "If a friend sends you an invitation at an email address that is not registered with your LinkedIn account, you may inadvertently create a new account with that email address." Since I only barely use linked-in, and only joined because other people asked me to, I feel like it's becoming more trouble than it is worth. I've deleted the extra email accounts, and hopefully we will not be seeing more junk mail of this sort. > 2) I'm not sure if Mailman can do it but filtering based on the > inbound IP address, DNS name or other distinguisher to direct traffic > from LinkedIn to be moderated or moved directly to your personal > account. I'll take a look. We used to require people to be members of the list to post to it, which caught a lot of this kind of spam, but it also made it hard(er) for people to ask questions or contribute patches and bug reports, so we have tried loosening things up a bit, in general. Thanks for your help, Gene. I was wondering what was causing this. / Marty / _______________________________________________ gPXE mailing list gPXE@etherboot.org http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe
