Hello everybody!
I have just received a spam email coming from this mailing list, sent by 
"???" with subject "???QDCST???????". Do you have received it too?
The Italian mailing list 
<http://netbeans.org/projects/nblocalization/lists/it/archive> (nice, 
huh?) had already been targeted by spammers, so I decided to 
unsubscribe, also considering that the l10n project was suspended.
The problem is that both the subscription form (luckily, an account is 
necessary to write messages in a mailing list) and the message 
composition form on netbeans.org are not protected by captchas, so 
anyone (better: anything) can subscribe and send spam messages.
Can anyone point this out ot the webmasters, in order to provide some 
kind of patch?
Regards,
Filippo
