Lists: pgsql-performance


I was unable to find the address of a human who manages these lists,
so I apologize for the off-topic email (email about abuse of the
psql-performance mailing list instead of email about psql
performance).

I received, today, spam sent to addresses subscribed to
psql-performance. One address was ONLY used for this specific mailing
list mail, so there are only two ways the address could have been
discovered:

* Someone found a way to retrieve the list of email addresses subscribed
to this mailing list.

* Someone harvested the email addresses from the archive.

The evidence supports the latter assertion, since other single-use
email addresses subscribed to other psql lists received no spam.

Thus, I suggest that the archives be munged to translate all email
addresses to human (but not simple machine) readable form.
