[sudo-sys] Possible reflection attack (Fwd: Uncaught bounce notification)

We've gotten hundreds of these in the past few days. Seems like a
possible reflection attack where a third party tries to subscribe a
bunch of peoples' SMS numbers to flood them with confirm emails. I
think I solved this by blocking {sms,txt}.att.net addresses from
joining all our lists, like this:

$ cat ~/setbanlist
mlist.ban_list.extend(['^.*@txt.att.net$', '^.*@mms.att.net$'])
$ for list in $(cd /var/lib/mailman/lists/; ls -1 .); do sudo -u list
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/config_list -i ~/setbanlist $list; done
