It looks like no-one is managing the list, so there are lots of dumbass HR sites which have been (unwittingly) signed up to the list. Some even have a reject notice now, so maybe they were faked onto the list by disgruntled unsuccessful candidates for something. And there are at least two Portuguese helpdesks on here who auto-respond as if you're an employee. Trying to contact a human at OS software sites can be nearly as hard as trying to contact a human on corporate sites. This is addresses to owner-php-install@lists.php.net and CC'd to webmaster@php.net and abuse@php.net as well as the list itself, in the hope of attracting someone's attention. This time I'll keep the evidence :-) ///Peter
