Unfortunately, a spammer has subscribed to the list and is harvesting all email addresses appearing in list traffic, and then sending private, and rather offensive, responses while reusing subject lines from the list. The list itself is not sending spam. It is a recent and very unfortunate development, in about the last week, and rest assured that the list admins are trying to figure out who to unsubscribe to quit the harvesting of email addresses, although that won't help if your address was already harvested. This is not the only list hit; many open source lists have reported the same issue in the last week. -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
