[Elecraft] Junk mail from elecraft...

[John Ragle]

It looks to me like the elecraft at mailman.qth.net input filters have been 
compromised -- I am getting junk mail spam from the sex trade via the 
Elecraft server. I see that "QTH.COM" appears to be the underlying 
service, so perhaps it is the source of the junk? I have complained to 
the webmaster at Elecraft, who says that he can do nothing, although in 
my experience as SO of several list servers, I don't see this as true.

Someone (a legitimate someone) on this list suggested one should simply 
ignore the specious stuff, but I don't agree. If it is QTH.COM that is 
at fault, it is time to switch ISPs. Just hoping it will go away is 
entirely the wrong approach...instead, it will just get worse and worse. 
I have supported QTH.COM with cash contributions in the past, but it 
looks like a lot of this has been wasted.

My ISP removes ~100 such messages a day from my email stream, but 
because elecraft at mailman.qth.net   is a permitted contributor to my 
email, there is little my ISP or I can do about this mail, other than 
blacklisting the elecraft server. I am loath to do this. If this is a 
spoofing attack, then Elecraft should consider changing its list server 
name.

Reaction?
