Larry, Thank you for the work you and others do behind the scenes to make the nanog list available and functional. Mike- On 10/26/2015 12:17 PM, Larry Blunk wrote:
All, Just wanted to apologize for the attack over the weekend. The posts came from a email address that was subscribed to the list, so it was not subjected to moderation. While a filter was added to block further posts (which were made in a short time window), there were existing message queues that were not cleared in a timely basis.
As Job Snijders (a fellow Communications Committee member) noted in an earlier post, we will be implementing some additional protection mechanisms to prevent this style of incident from happening again. We will be more aggressively moderating posts from addresses who have not posted recently, in addition to other filtering mechanisms.
