Spam with vger.kernel.org return address
I've received at least two unsolicited e-mails (possibly more, but I get so much crap, I generally send it straight to /dev/null), both relating to sex, with vger.kernel.org return addresses. Who is the best person to contact about it?
It's really bad to click on an e-mail I think is from this list, find an image of a naked woman, and hope to God my boss doesn't come by before I can delete it.

If it *really* came thru vger (HTML in it ?), then
that address would be [email protected]
Even if it didn't, at least I am curious at what you really got. (Same address.)
Do remember to forward *ALL* headers. The all revealing trace data is carried in "Received:" headers, after all, and most common email clients seem to make it extremely
hard to see those. (And I limit myself at that, one
particular vendor screws up email STANDARDS so bad that you really would not believe me anyway...)

"click on email and find an image" ?
Oh no, you do use HTML displaying "email clients"..
I see never anything such, but then I am an "old-fart" who thinks that HTML has no license to be in email in the first place.

Yes, I know. The second one came from vger.kernel.org, but did not originate there. In fact, upon looking at the second one again, it came through the mailing list:

"click on email and find an image" ?
Oh no, you do use HTML displaying "email clients"..I see never anything such, but then I am an "old-fart" who thinks that HTML has no license to be in email in the first place.
I don't think HTML should be there either.
Sorry, actually, what I typed is not really what I meant. Both e-mails were in a foreign language that I don't speak (or read). Quickly glancing at the first one, seeing where it was from (the mailing list), I thought the link might be a benchmark, patch, or some kernel related info. I clicked and it was none of the above.
The second one I didn't make that mistake with (and the subject told me not to anyway).
(Oh, and I do run with no Java, Javascript, cookies, etc. enabled)
