I first noticed this on Monday 21 April. I'm getting sleazy spam (complete with pictures) addressed to me, using the subject line of messages that I've sent to Koha. the last one is from jessica01@securedtexts.com with a link to superiorjob.org/jessica Because they're using the subject line of my Koha-list posts, they're sneaking in under the usual spam filters. My IT guru suspects someone has recently signed on to the list for nefarious purposes. Now I'm going to see if they send me another one with this subject line. . . -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.

They aren't signed up to the list, at least not with that address, and the mail is not going through the list. What they appear to be doing is either signed up with another address, and replying to all mail, but not through the list. Or someone who is signed up to the list has had their computer compromised, and it is doing spam replies to any mail they receive. Either way, not a lot we can do about it sorry :( Chris

I have figured out 'list' yet. I can provide the name, privacy, etc. But then it asks for a barcode. Scanning it in seems to be the only option. What I am really looking for is the ability to create a 'list' of bib records with a certain characteristic. i.e. all bib records with a tag 024 than begins with '030'. (Regex would be really nice.) Then I want to export the records in the list. Is this possible in Koha? Thanks Steve Sowder Systems Librarian sowder@andrews.edu Andrews University
I would say the list function in Koha is not the tool for this job. Try Reports. On Wed, Apr 23, 2014 at 8:42 PM, Steve Sowder <sowder@andrews.edu> wrote:

(Sorry for the late reply.) I got one of those too, complete with NSFW pictures, so you're not alone Elaine. I've noticed an increase in spam lately on several of my e-mail accounts, and on medlib-l, the medical librarians' list. Apparently a lot of people with AOL accounts who access them via smartphone have had their address books hacked in recent weeks--I got two messages last week from hacked accounts. That's not what's going on here, but I'm afraid it's part of a wider trend. --Fred, who remembers BITNet, gophers, and the Canter and Siegel Usenet debacle kohauser (at) phred.us
