The other addresses were: johndalton289@gmail.com, and teor2345@gmail.com. I tried attaching a photo of the "to" field but it was rejected due to size limitations.


Just thought I'd give a heads up.

I looked it up. You can forward the spams that the Gmail address are sending to registrar-abuse@google.com, which reports spam emails and inappropriate content being sent by Gmail users to Google. Try that.

blank subject lines. New, and perhaps related.

That would be a bad precedent, I think ;)

Searching for the spam addresses, I found reports from other mail lists.

So it's not just Tor lists.
