The end part > appears below... [snip quotation of spam mail] This is a phenomenon called spam [1]. To receive a spam mail is _no_ indication whatever, that the receiving system is compromised. (In fact, for any valid mail that makes it to the list, the debian list servers reject hundreds of spam mails. This fortunately _does_ _not_ mean that they have been compromised. ) NB: Please don't quote spam mails in your mails to the list, since a mangling of spam text and valid content for the debian lists, poisons the spam filters that automatically check all these mails.
