Because our software is freely available (no-cost and full-of-freedom), it might be used by a spam or phishing website. If they have set up a server running Fedora, it might be displaying the "Fedora Test Page": http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Server_Test_Page There is a screenshot on that page, looks like this: http://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/8/86/ServerTestPage_httpd_test_page.png If that is what you have seen, I'm sorry to tell you there is nothing we can do about it. Your best best is to either contact your Internet service provider (ISP) or the ISP of the offending website. Your ISP should have a spam fighting solution installed that you can use, and you may want to use an email client such as Thunderbird that can learn and protect against spam (to a limited degree.) Contacting the ISP of the membres.multimania.fr website is another good idea. I did a check on who owns that domain name, and this is the information that came up -- they would be the people to contact about troublesome websites on their network: From http://whois.domaintools.com/multimania.fr it is probably one of the "type: PERSON" contact blocks, such as: nic-hdl: JT1544-FRNIC type: PERSON contact: Julien Toupart address: 17, avenue Gambetta address: 24200 Sarlat-la-Canéda country: FR phone: +33 5 53 29 23 48 e-mail: admincfr@xxxxxxxxx Good luck. -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41
