Hello Everyone,

Just to let you know that I, too, receive some spam email, but lately, mostly
w*o*r*m attached emails.  Whether from this list, or from the one other list
that I'm subbed to using this particular email addy, I really don't know.
Both infestations seem to be running rampant with my yahoo email addy.  My
other email addies are free of any attacks.  Thank goodness for AVG checking
all incoming and outgoing for me.

Looking in the headers of such email... none seem to come "from" the same
person, list or addy, so someone in email-land is happily passing these things
around through either ignorance or deliberately.

Lynne  ...  :)

  Happy holidays everyone!

  I use a number of lists with this address and I do not get any spam with
  it, unlike my previous address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) which was
  circulated for 5 years.

  I've seen some discussions over harvesters being run on lists where
  owners have switched showing addresses in text over to showing them as
  graphics, I remember this list did it at one time, why it stopped I do
  not know. Perhaps Marlene can explain?

  Now many lists that use secure(?) archives where only subscribed members
  may access the messages have benefited from that as well. I am on a few
  lists with extremely high traffic in the 600 posts a day range and I do
  not receive spam from them or because of them, coincidentally they are
  all on yahoo groups (go figure).

  As with this list too, I do not get any spam, my spam filters at my
  email host are very active though not on this particular address. My
  email addys for web dev groups are spammed the most.

  You're quite diplomatic Clint, I would like to know if any other persons
  who do answer the questions also have spam problems with the list.
