We are seeing an email bomb attack enabled through mass automated sign up to mailing lists. There are literally thousands of emails from thousands of list servers, almost all identical and similar to the following:
These are genuine lists but have nothing to do with users signing up. I would like to extract all the "list@mailinglist.com" URI in the paragraph that contains the text "If you think you are being maliciously subscribed to the list", then reply to that address to say remove.
Has anyone got any bright ideas on extracting the relevant info, even if it requires sending in an alternative step?
Mailing list subscription confirmation notice for mailing list ThisMailingList
We have received a request from x.x.x.x for subscription of your email address, "user@ourdomain.com", to the list@mailinglist.com mailing list. To confirm that you want to be added to this mailing list, simply reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact. Or visit this web page:
Or include the following line -- and only the following line -- in a message to list@mailinglist.com:
confirm e71d81d79ebb4806c684cddb0e7da7a6ba147b8b
Note that simply sending a `reply' to this message should work from most mail readers, since that usually leaves the Subject: line in the right form (additional "Re:" text in the Subject: is okay).
If you do not wish to be subscribed to this list, please simply disregard this message. If you think you are being maliciously subscribed to the list, or have any other questions, send them to list@mailinglist.com.
