Re: django setup.py access denies

Email 1000 users directly, see when if you get spam or not. If so, email the first 500 again, rinse and repeat, else proceed to the next batch after 12 hours.
 
Aside from the fact that you will be spamming as well, at least it would be for just one time and for the greater good.

I have to apologize here - you've been bitten by a problem that we're
having a great deal of problem resolving.

There are 20000 subscribers on django-users. One of them has an
infected mail client that is autoresponding with spam whenever it gets
a message from Django-users.

However, the malicious software is hiding it's tracks really well,
because we're not able to identify *which* user is actually causing
the problem. And because this is a Google group, we can't get any
helpful server information, either.

So - again - apologies that your first experience to this group has
been spam -- we certainly don't encourage or condone this sort of
behavior. We're doing our best to address the problem; if anyone has
any nifty ideas on how to  hunt down the offender, I'm all ears.

Yours,
Russ Magee %-)
