The level of spam here has now gone past my tolerance limit. Okay on broadband via a webmail interface (I was doing that on holiday in Kurdistan, last at the wonderfully slick and professional Saraf internet cafe in Diyarbakir) but I don't have broadband here and some of these spams have been huge.
As far as I can see, it isn't a matter of the address database being compromised (by either a public archive or a virus attack on some subscriber's machine) - these spams have been routed through the mailserver itself, so simply inventing a new address as I've done before won't do a thing to reduce the spam volume. I'd like to resubscribe if/when the mailserver gets secured against spammers and HTML/virus abuse (subscriber-only posting and challenge/ response subscription, or something like that). Meanwhile I'm a regular on ballad-l and uk.music.folk, both of which overlap this forum. cheers - jack ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack> * food intolerance data & recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files and CD-ROMs of Scottish music. ----> off-list mail to "j-c" rather than "scots-l" at this site, please <---- Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
