Hi Ochal,

Autoforwarding of mails to spamcop is *BAD*, as it can be rather disruptive for email services.
I still don't understand what this is all about. Is the allegation that someone has somehow set Olegil's server into relay mode? How can forwarding mail to spamcop (which I assume is an address somewhere) end up spreading it via a subscriber-only server to an address that does not even remotely resemble "spamcop"?
I'm probably not the only one here who is mystified. Some explanation of the mechanism would be interesting, at least. It might even help the unfortunate infected clean their machines.
Seconded.
I would also add this:
1 I probably sent a report. I get literally hundreds of spams a day and I don't waste time looking for open relays or other security holes just because they may be run by friends.
2 It certainly wasn't the first spam via this list, and I certainly can't have been the only person to report it. Spamcop cop doesn't blacklist on the basis on one report, AFAIK.
Tighten up the list security, Olegil, and watch your language. I know it's annoying, but please save the profanity for the bastards that exmploit the tiniest security holes to send spam.
