Sorry, it is not a genuine post Andrew, it reads "[ADV] Information on Yellow Page 2002 edition". And the other ones posted on Feb 2 reads "Adult only, free!!" :( I feel very much embarrassed at such mindless spams in my own language and need to say some explanation about it. Currently, Korea offers the best accessibility to internet service. Most of the houses have equipped with fast ADSL and you can access internet as cheap as 1$ per an hour in some kind of internet cafe which is virtually everywhere. So, everybody wants to do something on internet including advertising their business. And recently, robot programs which automatically traverse web pages through their links to collect email address on it are so prevalent. I've frequently heard about offers saying they can email my advertisement to over 100,000 addresses for very low price. Such address includes mailing list of course, so this is the reason behind recent overwhelming Korean spammers. But there's way you can block most, not all of those spams. It is the law in my country that internet advertisers must include "[광고]" on their subject line. (I'm not sure if it will be displayed correctly) If it is possible, you can filter those mails including that words and protect this list from malicious spammers. Hope this can help cleaning up this mailing list. Xavier Cho _______________________________________________ I18n mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/i18n
