I've got 2 mail containing viruses sent through freeradius-user-request.. was this email spoofed ( my antivirus software deleted the email so I had no chance to look at the headers etc ) or were email really sent through mailman?
It's spoofed. I'm seeing them too. Spammers have discovered that you can troll mailing list archives for who talked to who. They then send spam "from" someone on the list "to" someone else on the list. This is an attempt to leverage whitelists and address books. It doesn't happen a lot, but I expect this spam method to grow over time. I know I've seen it go from an occasional attempt to a few per day. Alan DeKok.
