Am I the only one getting spam via the mailing list?

The way I typed it made it sound like I was saying that Patrick was using Sven and Branko's e-mail addresses to spam the list. This was not my intention, and I want to publicly apologize to Patrick. I truly regret any embaressment or confusion that I may have caused.

Whats the best way of disposing of a body? Wood chipper?

My intention was to say that someone, (NOT Sven or Branko. Probably an Outlook based virus) was using the exact e-mail addresses that Sven and Branko use to send messages to the list.

If you didnt notice, those are faked from headers. Its quite easy to do, and all the outlook viruses out there do it now.

What should be done is that the list moderator attempt to ban the email addresses that actually sent the mail from the list.

They are definitely sent via the list:

1) They are prepended by "[Gimp-developer]", which I doubt a virus would do by itself.
2) Received: from lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU ([128.32.112.242]) by BFLITEMAIL-KR2.bigfoot.com (LiteMail v3.03(BFLITEMAIL-KR2)) with SMTP+id 24Oct2003_BFLITEMAIL-KR2_176922_3827684; Fri, 24 Oct 2003 10:53:27 -0400 EST

Yeah, what he said.

I dont have any of the spams anymore, but did the "real" from header manage to get passed on? (ie, what isp should I have the list moderator add to the shitlist?)
