Let's first wait and see how the current measures
work out. I have just removed all the members with
clear spam email addresses and/or who have spammed.

It seems mainly to have been only one spammer
from Pakistan, who used the email address
'zerodefex@...' and later
'zerodefex@...' and all kinds
of Pakistani sounding actual names.

It seems he was using the following PHP script to
send his SPAM:
X-PHP-Script: rock.pk/mail2yg/send-emails.php

We could notify his provider if someone wants to
persue this, but he doesn't seem to be a professional
spammer and muslims already have such a hard life
nowadays, not understanding the modern world and
not being understood by it...

Greetings,
Jaap
