[R-sig-Geo] (no subject)

[Roger Bivand]

All the R lists have become subject to attack by bots automatically 
subscribing (all so far from gmail addresses) and we have not been able to 
match the escalation in this weapons race. We may be obliged to treat all 
non-institutional addresses as suspect (such as gmail, which has been the 
prefered mode for these attackers. We cannot moderate the list, so we may 
need to restrict address sending ranges. I have administratively 
unsubscribed all senders of spam, including you. If you wish to 
re-subscribe (and we don't know that you are not a bot), please do so from 
an institutional address. We may also have to introduce other methods for 
checking the reality of subscribers, which we haven't used until now.

Regretfully,

List admin.
