Mails not from me

Hi,

Looks like someone was trying to send a bunch of spam mail to the
ubuntu-users to the list as me.

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2010-November/233157.html

It wasn't me or any system I own/administer, broken or otherwise. From
one of those mails:-

Received: from [175.107.158.213] (helo=dev)
by chlorine.canonical.com with esmtp (Exim 4.69)
(envelope-from <alan@xxxxxxxxx>) id 1PDDtx-0001M8-9o
for ubuntu-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Tue, 02 Nov 2010 10:15:37 +0000
Received: from dev (localhost [127.0.0.1])
by dev (Postfix) with SMTP id 7708995A8540
for <ubuntu-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>;
Tue, 2 Nov 2010 05:15:32 -0500 (CDT)

Where 175.107.158.213 is:-

k9.ausics.net A 175.107.158.213

Only person I can see using that address on this list is Res.

Received: from k9.ausics.net ([175.107.158.213])
by chlorine.canonical.com with esmtp (Exim 4.69)
(envelope-from <res@xxxxxxxxxx>) id 1Oibgy-0001SE-DD
for ubuntu-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Tue, 10 Aug 2010 00:23:40 +0100

So I guess he's trying to get me blocked for spam. Nice.

I've blocked that host from mailing this list which should stop the
mails coming through. Apologies for the disruption.

Al.
