I unsubscribed the address, I noticed the suspect email yesterday when
it subscribed to all freeipa associated lists, but I was shutting down
my gear and didn't moderate it right away.

I will keep an eye for further suspect subscription, as this is a new
technique (replying directly to posters), they used to subscribe to send
messages to the list ...

Simo.
