I do but I was on vacation (in Italy!) last week. Someone eventually
notified the overseers mailing list about this. Someone there *should*
have been able to block the messsages from arriving. I don't know if
that is what happened or if things were fixed on the sending end but
sending email to either postmaster or overseers will contact the right
people.
You can also hop on freenode and contact people on the #overseers
channel.
