openFwd: kedit (hyperkitty SPAM)

Description
No need to open a ticket, but I had a thought on the hyperkitty spam
problem. All the message bodies seem to be a single-line, no signature. Is it
possible to add a filter for messages sent from hyperkitty that match into a
moderation queue or the like?
Is there any consistent address block the connecting IP comes from?
The "domyessay.com" comes back to 3.233.126.24 (Amazon), may be worth a
complaint for SUSE to Amazon to clean up its act. Also a thought.
Vexing problem to solve. Keep up the good fight.

Hi,
thanks for reaching out.
Adding a filter for single line mail sounds interesting. There are already some ideas for additional moderation rules, like https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/161351, but any such additional rules to moderate mail will require additional human moderator effort. I haven't asked yet if people have the capacity for this.
In case of incidents from hosting providers like Amazon, blocking individual IP addresses is not much help, as it's very easy for abusers to acquire new ones. It would sure be good to file abuse complaints, but unfortunately we get a lot of abuse from such hosting providers, not just in the form of spam, also in malicious connections. It'd need some automated system, as sending an email for every single one is lots of manual work (collecting and adding proof to the report), usually without much help in the long run (even if the provider bans the account, the abuser can just sign up for a new one).
In case of spam email I find lots of it to come from shared email services like Google as opposed to hosting services, which make it even easier for users to cycle through addresses.
