Did anyone else also just receive a boat load of old messages from the list?
I've got about 25 and more coming. They go back to October. And the really
funny thing about it is they're all from threads I participated in. I
checked out the headers and they're originating from mail.mytravelweb.net
and involve somebody [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's one of the headers.

Thanks for reporting this. Annoying, isn't it? Internally we have
blocked this traffic but I suspect some lot of users of the list are
still getting messages because their email addresses are in the headers
of the original messages. If you have gotten any of these messages
*from* ActiveState's servers since around 9PM last night, please let me
know right away and attach the full headers to your email.
Personally, I'm filtering all email with 'hescobar' in the To or CC
fields; this seems to do the trick. The running theory we have is that
this is the work of a bot-net of some sort. The baffling thing is that
while the header forging seems to be relatively sophisticated, it is
still really easy to filter these messages due to the fact that they all
have the same word / phrase in the To / CC header.
cheers, JeffG
