Subject: [defaced-l] Duplicate posts and other stuff

Thanks to a crappy mail system out there (Microsoft based, go figure), and the wonderful shodiness of majordomo, the list has been flooded with duplicate posts that got passed on from the outside as legitimate traffic. Instead of bouncing mail with appropriate warnings like any sane MTA, a system at rr.com essentially passed the mail back without altering any headers (as best I can tell). As a result, majordomo saw it as mail from us and posted it to the list.
We blocked the system from sending us ANY mail a few days ago, but these had already reached the mail queue apparently. Now, we have 27,000 pieces of mail being processed on the system and we are working to resolve it.
This is the third time we've seen this happen now. merck.com, satx.rr.com and singnet.com.sg are all guilty of this so far.

I'm still processing all the input for changes to the format of the list. I will post decisions on changes soon.
