Re: [TCP] ADMIN Re: Postings on TCP are being archived by another service
I've gotten a couple in the last few days, but not bad...at my work address. I'm on a couple other lists, HATT, techwr-l, techcomm, and Doc to Help forums... This is the first ever I've gotten any spam at all, I'd guess it's from one of these lists. Tim M. Nope. In the couple of years that I've been using gmail -- for personal mail, techwr-l, tcp, various STC and Yahoo lists - I can count the number of spam that have made it past the filter on the fingers of one hand. -Sue Gallagher On 10/29/07, Sue Heim [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've received a couple of spam email messages in the last few days to my Gmail email.

Quoting Sue Heim [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I've received a couple of spam email messages in the last few days to my Gmail email. Since the ONLY list I use this address for is THIS list, and since I don't use it anywhere else, I'm wondering if that archive service is not the best thing for me. Has anyone else seen spam the past few days? Yes. I am officially out of town but have been checking email. I've seen a significant amount over the past few days. I was beginning to wonder if Postini had fallen down on its job, or if my auto-replies were triggering the onslaught. Dana W.
