Here too.  And I've noticed the same at another site as well.

>Anyone know what is going on? How about more information on:
>listinfo@mac.vmei.acad.bg

I don't know, but I'm also getting - every minute or less - large logs of
rejected commands from *many* various majordomo servers.  And often buried in
these 5000+ line logs is the listinfo address!  As if listinfo is broadcasting
queried info about the LISTSERV here to majordomo sites.

I'm killing everything both to and from Majordomo@* so at least it shouldn't
propagate further, but I've been hit, quite literally, with hundreds of these
these junk files thus far today.  They may be slowing down a bit now.
