This isn't nearly fair. Some of the PHP lists still have spam coming
in on them, so whitelisting it will let the spam in.

 BTW, I just got one that *implies* php-general is using their filter.
 There was no other address, and it appears to be forged from
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 

Well then, it *does* sound like something isn't right here.

This isn't a message from php.net, it appears to be someone
attempting to harvest valid emails.

I would suggest to report this message including all the headers
but it doesn't appear they provide anyway to do such a thing. Not
to mention they appear to be some sort of marketing scheme as well.

The thing is, though, none of these people have actually signed up for

signed up to the list and is sending out these notices to people that 
post to the list saying that some random address has signed up for it. 
It's saying the list is signed up and people are receiving messages 
saying themselves are signed up when they know they haven't.

I really wish we could get an active admin on the list that would react 
to these sorts of things. I'd volunteer, but I don't think anyone cares 
besides the people actually on the list.

All that being said, I just trash these, anyhow. :)

Some previous posts imply that some people *did* use spamcease, my anti-spam 
measures protects me from seeing these Please Verify Your Message messages.

 It's like there's a spamcease bot
 signed up to the list and is sending out these notices to people that
 post to the list saying that some random address has signed up for it.
 It's saying the list is signed up and people are receiving messages
 saying themselves are signed up when they know they haven't.

If it's an email harvesting scam then I think it's rather over elaborate. 

 I really wish we could get an active admin on the list that would react
 to these sorts of things. I'd volunteer, but I don't think anyone cares
 besides the people actually on the list.

If individuals are using spamcease then there's very little a list admin can 
do short of chucking them off the list. BUt if it's a bot that's subscribed 
to the list then yes throw it off.

 All that being said, I just trash these, anyhow. :)

Exactly.
