By “block the address," I mean IETF-wide, not just the IETF list. The bot is apparently attacking every list we host. It would be nice to turn it off once instead of having to manually do it on every list.

I am not convinced “Kumar Xplorer” is a human. ‘He’ sent an email to a long-dead IETF mail list, with an incoherent body text, sent to a ton of non-human email addresses, only a few that resolve to ietf.org, that looked scraped from the Internet.

Let’s block the address and move on.

FWIW, Mr. Kumar Xplorer's postings (a number of which are included in the samples below) created enough difficulty for me in reviewing some mailing lists that I've already simply blackholed mail from any of his addresses that I could find.


Thanks,

The ART area directors have received a request from several individuals to
revoke the posting rights to IETF mailing lists of Pradeep Kumar Xplorer as
per the procedures in BCP 83 (RFC 3683).

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the 
mailing lists by 2019-03-17. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to
iesg@xxxxxxxx instead. In either case, please retain the Subject line to 
allow
automated sorting.

PLEASE NOTE: Comments should be limited to the criteria described in BCP 83,
specifically in this case whether the person has posted "discussion of
subjects unrelated to IETF policy, meetings, activities, or technical
concerns" or "unprofessional commentary, regardless of the general subject",
and whether such posts have had an effect to "disrupt the consensus-driven
process." In particular, IT IS INAPPROPRIATE TO MAKE COMMENTS ABOUT THE
POSTER'S STATE OF MIND WHILE MAKING THESE POSTS OR WHETHER THE POSTS 
HAVE SOME
BROADER MEANING OUTSIDE OF THE IETF PROCESS. The questions posed by this 
Last
Call are whether the posts are off-topic, whether the posts disrupt the
process, and whether the PR-action is the appropriate remedy.

The following is an incomplete sampling of messages that have been 
identified
as being potentially off-topic and disrupting:
