Обсуждение: pginstaller-devel mailing list

Hi all,

Is anyone looking after the pginstaller-devel@pgfoundry.org mailing list
these days? I've received a few pieces of spam from it recently, but
haven't seen any legitimate traffic on it in years - in fact, I'd
forgotten all about it until the spam started to arrive.

The pginstaller project is long since dead.

Hi Dave,

Yes, I know that, but the mailing list seems to be there still - unless
of course the sender address was spoofed. Below are the full headers
from the last one I got, in case anyone is interested.

Yours is not the first complaint about long-dead mailing lists in
pgfoundry.org spewing spam.  It would be great for there to be an admin
that could take care of killing them dead.

You can just comment out the /etc/aliases entries for the list. That
will leave things like archives in place but will stop any and all
communication from and to the list.

I haven't been able to log in to that list for years, and repeated
requests to recover the password was ignored years ago. I have no
interest in trying to work around that again now, but if somebody else
wants to take over adminship and change those things, be my guest.
