All,
Of late, Mifnet has been receiving considerably more spam that is usual. Much of it is the typical stuff that is occasionally sent to the list (of the Ukrainian women and Nigerian astronaut ilk)-just much more of it. Some is unusual, however, because it comes via a route that doesn't directly try and post to the list. It's also unusual in that it serves no purpose that I can see (doesn't ask for anything). It seems intended just to create a workload burden for the system. I mention this only because, although we can deal with whatever might be going on, some of the remediation might (possibly) result in normal posts being somewhat delayed. I've no idea how long these new developments may remain a potential issue. If this happens, please be assured that posts the system acknowledges as received will find their way to the list. Many thanks once again for your support, DW David Wardell (757) 561-0582 <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <https://wardell.us/url/b5s86> <https://wardell.us/url/s9qvz>
