[Caml-list] SPAM based on mailing list information

[Nickolay Semyonov-Kolchin]

I'am getting lots of SPAM mails (in korean language [sick!]) with header like 
this: ropas.kaist.ac.kr/caml/caml-list/0805.html.

Anybody has same troubles?

Looks like caml-list subscribers database is stolen...

I don't think so, but spammers can (and do) harvest e-mail addresses
from Web pages, including Web archives of this mailing list.

I suggest you look into spam filtering software: SpamAssassin, or my
own SpamOracle (sorry for the plug :-) are quite effective.
