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://%5Bhost-from-above%5D: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..

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.
