Hi Florian,
I must state that probably the clear text addresses in html archive
pages are the reason for excessive spamming targeted to mailing list
subscribers.

I registered in the mailing list at Mon, 27 Nov 2006 11:37 +0100.
The first spam arrived at Mon, 27 Nov 2006 15:12:46 +0100 from some
Korean computer.
The address was created just before the registration and was used only
for this purpose. I sent only one message from this account to the
collectd mailing list.

The address is intentionally modified.


Best regards,
