Just got the following email asking me to confirm my request to join a mailing list I've never heard of.
I don't want to click the links incase they're dodgy, but if it's just dodgy spam then how did it know that I shorten my name to Dav? Strange...

We have received a request from 195.92.168.167 for subscription of
your email address to the

added to this mailing list, simply reply to this message, keeping the

http://dav.lyra.org/mailman/confirm/dav-announce/7832ef20da69308451c2d75517752c253bc25eaa
Or include the following line -- and only the following line -- in a

confirm 7832ef20da69308451c2d75517752c253bc25eaa
Note that simply sending a `reply' to this message should work from
most mail readers, since that usually leaves the Subject: line in the

disregard this message. If you think you are being maliciously
subscribed to the list, or have any other questions, send them to
