Description
Hi SAC,
since I monitor all subscriptions to the GRASS mailing lists, I noticed bulk subscriptions to various of our lists at the same time, all from the same domain with likely random user names.
Looking on the list server, this currently accumulates to:
find_member apotmail.com | grep found | wc -l 259
Apparently we are not alone: http://www.mentby.com/Group/svlug/probablehaus-domain-apotmailcom.html
I would suggest to bulk-unsubscribe them as mailman admin and block that domain to avoid a mess in the future in many OSGeo lists.

Still 128 members in 66 mailing lists. Should we assume they are still spammers ?

For the record, at the time of writing LDAP has no entry of users with @aptomail.com mail address

Closing since it seems to be somehow solved.
I have solved it for the GRASS lists.
