By tracing through WhoIs, I discovered that the culprit (the owner of the presttec.org domain) is someone called Ramon Araujo Oliveira, whose own email address is presttec@.... Unfortunately, at list-admin level, I can't connect it with any subscriber on the firebird-support list.
I am preparing an abuse ticket for the Yahoo administrators but, until there is some response, all we potential victims can do is send these emails to trash, unfortunately.
In the meantime, I am very keen to hear (privately) from anyone who knows Ramon Araujo Oliveira.
