It's now clear that this is not a one-off, and I think we should do something. The first thing I would do is delete these files (added to page "rutud"). This requires special priviledges. The second thing is probably start a discussion with the other GDB maintainers as to decide what to do to prevent this sort of abuse. I'm willing to help, because it bothers me that someone is using a flaw on our system to force us to host his spam. But if no one else cares, then that's fine, I'll just filter the emails I receive when this happens. -- Joel
