Обсуждение: Email from infotecnica.com.br
Hi all, I just posted to -performance and I received the following email from postmaster at infotecnica.com.br: "The email message sent to pgsql-performance at postgresql.org requires a confirmation to be delivered. Please, answer this email informing the characters that you see in the image below." followed by a captcha image. I think we should inform the user to remove this sort of thing or unsubscribe him from the list. It's quite annoying and disturbing for our users.

I'm happy just to unsubscribe the user, as I'm willing to bet lunch s/he isn't getting most of the mail. Spammers are using this mechanism to get people to decode captchas for them, too, so I would never do it (I've no reason to believe, yet, that that's what's happening in this case). A
These guys are a smal software factory, probably some old employee / dba / sysadmin suscribed their mail and it's not taking anymore that role. I can give them a call if it's worth, just let me know. gb.- On Dec 26, 2007 12:09 PM, Andrew Sullivan <ajs@crankycanuck.ca> wrote: > On Wed, Dec 26, 2007 at 01:26:07AM +0100, Guillaume Smet wrote: > > I just posted to -performance and I received the following email from > > postmaster at infotecnica.com.br: > > "The email message sent to pgsql-performance at postgresql.org requires > > a confirmation to be delivered.
