For whatever reason, we're seeing a fair number of complaints that people are being spammed by subscription requests. It looks like there's some sort of script hitting a number of mailman installations and sending subscribe requests for a variety of email addresses.
I don't think we can do much about this. If it's possible, maybe add a message to the subscription confirmation e-mail that says:
"If you did not request to subscribe to this mailing list, it's probably a spam bot that is submitting your e-mail address to different mailing lists. Please disregard this e-mail and keep an eye on where you give out your e-mail address."
I see an old thread upstream that discusses the issue, but I didn't see a solution. A suggested solution is to set up iptables filters and things like spamassassin, but we'll have to speak to the infra team about that. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD"
