Hey Brian,
I imagine we have a few possible solutions:
- high impact: delete all users from the email list and make
everyone re-subscribe. I don't know how effect this will be unless the
Postman system can enable something like a captcha challenge system to
keep out bots. People who don't keep up with their email would loose
some of the postings
- no impact : When anyone posts a URL, etc. break them which will
require some human manipulation. For example
HOST=44.182.21.1
http://[host-from-above]:59001/mikrotikid=n0call@AA20aa
This won't be perfect as not everyone will remember to do this,
they will post URLs that they use but might impact other user's
infrastructure (like Marius's new tool)
- Maybe there are some other, better ideas..

I assume it's because some number of the subscribers to the mailing list
are bots or untrustworthy people. Or maybe they're archive services
or remailers that make the list available to the general public.
Consider the fact that every time I post a URL that points at a server
whose logs I can watch, there is an immediate attempt to fetch that URL.
It happens too quickly to be real people, it's got to be a bot of some
sort. And there isn't just one of them, there are typically three or
four from different IP addresses in the first few minutes.
