This spam flood is kinda hilarious in a way. Any idea why no one with mod or admin privs for the mailing list has bothered to step in and deal with this?
I asked a similar question myself on another list.
But then after a minute's reflection, the fact that we all got 200+ messages like this on the NANOG list and not a single other message complaining about it suggests that someone did actually hit the big red moderation button promptly, and just waited until Monday to sort it out (which would not have been completely unreasonable, I think).
The residual messages that tricked through after that seem likely to be nothing more than outbound queues draining.

I considered the same thing as you, initially. Went back and looked at the raw headers though, and the early Received headers - shows the messages were still coming in over the course of the weekend rather then just say Friday night and then it was a queue purge. My filters kicked in on Sat evening once I added something to counteract the whitelist for nanog's mails (going through nanog servers), so I'm missing alot of the later spew from Sunday. -- Brielle Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group http://www.sosdg.org / http://www.ahbl.org
