Did you read the article? I think what they are saying is true. I have read several people on the mailing list complaining that they have emailed to unsubscribe and nothing has happened. Perhaps a problem with mailman.

Oh, please, it's probably phishing...

As stated by Bluenova, it has nothing to do with the disto sending spam.

The article states that the vendors stand accused of sending spam because of their somewhat shaky unsubscribe policy.

The key words here are "stands accused" Remember innocent until proven guilty.

Medivhx - You go can not go around suing people because they have been accused of something.

What a bunch of bull.

Id probably change that, there are over zealous mods about.

This is why I'm cautious about joining any mailing list.

well IS this false information? have people been unable to unsubscribe from the mailing lists?

[MedivhX]

Even if there are those mails, they are probably from some hackers etc.
