Hi Abdoulaye,

> Please Blacklist all mails from this domain "sypris.com"

Done, but even though, I could not undo the already sent mails.

I'm trying to find out who is repsonsible for this mess.

Thanks
  Detlev

I don't know who's responsible for this, but
those emails say something about www . bestdrv . ru
I've seen this address in emails (patches) from
Brilliantov Kirill Vladimirovich <brilliantov@byterg . ru>
in series: [PATCH 0/3] add new PHY chips support

Yes, I have come to the same conclusion.  My russian is not that good,
but that URL does not look very malicious to me.  The fact that it
appeared in a mail from a real contributor to U-Boot[1] also backs this
fact.  Well ok, the patch was for an old U-Boot, but still, it's a real
patch ;)

It seems that the sypris people have a very misconfigured filter
software with questionable filter rules.  I'm waiting for an answer from
their postmaster.

Cheers
  Detlev

Indeed, it does not.

Right, I'm not trying to convict anybody,
just that URL jumped in my mind, when I was browsing through...
(I also misspelled it, but who cares...)

Another question, is the email address of the sender
of those notification mails subscribed to u-boot mailing list?
Or can people send email to the list without being subscribed?

This mailing list is by intent an open mailing list, i.e. also
non-subscribers can post to the list.  This has proven to be very
helpful as people can simply CC the mailing list with topics brought up
on other mailing lists (for example the linux mailing lists).  I
sincerely want to keep this feature as it encourages sharing of
information.

Note that the moving of the arm linux mailing list[1] happened because
other people think alike (see [2] if you have more time ;).

Hi Kirill,

You don't have to excuse anything.  The problem here is clearly on the
people administring the machine that sent those mails.

All _you_ could do is rebase the patches to a current U-Boot ;)
