Forgeries are getting more common. Take this one for example. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2008-01/msg00103.html The message is using a forged address from a poster who has several other in that same thread. The forged message came in through a news to mail gateway. Actual messages from that poster are being sent by email. By looking at the message headers it is easy to see that these messages are coming from different senders. But because the forged address was subscribed to the mailing list it was passed through without any check. Here are several more examples: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2008-01/msg00088.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2008-01/msg00090.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2008-01/msg00091.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2008-01/msg00093.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2008-01/msg00098.html All of these look to have come through a news gateway. I have turned on emergency moderation for that list for the moment. Bob
