php bug database abused for spamming

Dear Sir, Madame, Last month i posted a possible bug in a win32 version of php 4.3.9. this possible bug is still being investigated. that's not the reason i'm sending you a mail however. today i received an e-mail which i believe is spam, containing hundreds of links to massage and other weird websites. the e-mail header, subject and sender fields are directly copied from the php bug website, http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31523 also, the complete thread found on the bugs site, as started by myself, is appended at the end of this spam e-mail. i suspect that this spammer abuses your site by extracting and reformatting the "name at provider dot com" lines for obtaining e-mail addresses. here's some more header information about this possible spam: X-Gmail-Received: 984addc4061addd7720fe3dd92248cd3b833ea9b Delivered-To: schellekens@gmail.com Received: by 10.38.209.58 with SMTP id h58cs4648rng; Tue, 1 Mar 2005 02:56:42 -0800 (PST) Received: by 10.54.35.41 with SMTP id i41mr59562wri; Tue, 01 Mar 2005 02:56:37 -0800 (PST) Return-Path: <nobody@ez1.php.net> Received: from ez1.php.net (ez1.php.net [128.39.198.38]) by mx.gmail.com with ESMTP id d8si40823wra.2005.03.01.02.56.33; Tue, 01 Mar 2005 02:56:36 -0800 (PST) Received-SPF: pass (gmail.com: best guess record for domain of nobody@ez1.php.net designates 128.39.198.38 as permitted sender) Received: from ez1.php.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by ez1.php.net (8.12.3/8.12.3/Debian-7.1) with ESMTP id j21AuWxI022595 for <schellekens@gmail.com>; Tue, 1 Mar 2005 11:56:32 +0100 Received: (from nobody@localhost) by ez1.php.net (8.12.3/8.12.3/Debian-7.1) id j21AuWfv022593; Tue, 1 Mar 2005 11:56:32 +0100 Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2005 11:56:32 +0100 Message-Id: <200503011056.j21AuWfv022593@ez1.php.net> To: schellekens@gmail.com Subject: Bug #31523 [Com]: Character-spacing errors when rendering text with ImageTTFText From: PHP Bug Database <php-bugs@lists.php.net> X-PHP-Bug: 31523 In-Reply-To: <bug-31523@bugs.php.net>
