I=E2=80=99ll certainly say this was frustrating for me. I got a fair =
amount via NANOG and a fair amount directly as well all with an easy =
pattern to mitigate.
It took me until today to realize that the list was still working and =
did not dump me for rejecting all the messages at the SMTP layer.
My understanding is that only one person has access to the mail server =
to put it in emergency mode or mitigate the damage. Perhaps someone can =
post the escalation policy for the list somewhere so it can be mitigated =
faster next time?
