[Sysadmin] Fwd: confirm bcfc8d452bdbec5d8a04ce50999e08977ea37ea3

[John Handelaar]

Weird automated attack on css-d, whose purpose I have not yet figured
out. (Is someone trying to nab the keys to the list by throwing *me in
particular* at the admin system?  Or are lots of these coming through
from various addresses?)

I have 4 of these this morning.  They originate in Bangladesh.
