Hi, my first posting from my new addy :)
I Unsubscribed last-night from both the LEM lists I get mail from [Quadlist and Mac-n-DOS].
I had none of the problems unsubscribing that "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" was experiencing recently - and venting his frustration onto us in here - the most mail this list has seen in recent months I add :)
The reasons why I unsubribed and resubscribed are to do with SPAM. I had been using a real address, one that was known only to a few people outside of the LEM list. Lately SPAM to that address has been getting out of hand. So I now have mail from the list go only to a hotmail account, which IMO does a good job of filtering SPAM.
I discovered by accident while Googling one day [as one does] more than one reference to list mail on the net.
The worst [because it gives full mail addresses to each list posting, to the WWW at large] is MacLaunch itself: <http://mail.maclaunch.com/Lists/mac-n-dos/List.html?&Sort=2&SDir=0&Limit=50>
My last posting using my personal addy: <http://mail.maclaunch.com/Lists/mac-n-dos/Message/1690.html>
Click on the links above, see if you can find your own posts, and decide whether you need to change addresses or not.
All the best, Mike
Clueless isn't it? There's new server software coming around 2030 just hang on till then. The mail.maclaunch site doesn't have the same censoring as the list archive, as found at the bottom of the page, why? I doubt anyone actually knows.
I've shared in Rogers problem as I've said before, the crappy software used is to blame while the listmom has one line, "not my fault" little wonder the account I use only for lem-lists is the one bombarded with viruses. Gee, thanks. Lets not mention those stupid bounce messages some of us get forever while others have never seen one let alone 10 per week.
Dans last post to this list was 13/9/03, maybe he unsubbed. Quote from second last post on the same date....
"If you reply to the [warning messages], they should go away -- but they may not. We have no idea why these messages are being generated; we have made maclaunch.com aware of the problem. That is all we can do. Note that the list server has been set to reject styled messages and email with attachments, so when responding to warning messages, be sure your response is a plain text email."
and
"And for some reason unknown to us, the Maclaunch mail server will not accept styled email or messages with attachments send to any of the command addresses. You must send plain text email to subscribe, confirm, change mode, etc. Anything else will be rejected by the server."
Filters are good. Free email accounts are better. Decent server software, priceless.
