Thank you so much, we had indeed missed that one
We managed to block some spamming, and we are running our despamming scripts, but they will take a while to finish cleaning up. We'll ping this question once done.

Spammers to add to the list.
Thanks for the information, there are more than 7,000 spams to go.
I will leave it up to the despamming scripts.
Thank You for all of your support on the matter, very much appreciated.
I moved spam into the spamalot folder for 5 hours, glad to be finished.

The cleanup should be finished now, and we've improved our automatic spam filtering. Thanks for the reports, as always, and let us know if there's anything more.
