I don't know what steps were taken to block Alan Pope's spoofed email address (I suspect the source IP address but that is not failsafe) but it appears that the only way to really stop it would be to block the email address itself, at least for now. Alan should probably use another email address for a time, very unfortunate, but most likely necessary.<br> </div> <div> <br> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <div> <br> </div> <div> <br> </div> <div style="font-family: arial,helvetica; font-size: 10pt; color: black;">-----Original Message-----<br> From: Alan Pope <alan@popey.com><br> To: Ubuntu user technical support,not for general discussions <ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com><br> Cc: Community Council List <community-council@lists.ubuntu.com><br> Sent: Tue, Nov 2, 2010 5:26 am<br> Subject: Mails not from me<br> <br> <div id="AOLMsgPart_0_87bea24d-e525-40ba-b541-92bd9861e65d" style="margin: 0px; font-family: Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> <pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>Hi,<br> <br> Looks like someone was trying to send a bunch of spam mail to the<br> ubuntu-users to the list as me.<br> <br> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2010-November/233157.html" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2010-November/233157.html</a><br> <br> It wasn't me or any system I own/administer, broken or otherwise.
