Marilyn et al, Managing list servs is one of the things I go for a living; it's a constant battle against spammers. If you want your list to reasonably open and usable, you run the risk of this kind of thing once in a while. If you really tighten the list down, you can make it go away (mostly) but using the list becomes so cumbersome that your readers may go away too because of the hassle.
You wouldn't believe the amount of time we spend just responding to attacks. Personally, I think keeping the list fairly open and having this happen once in a while is a reasonable tradeoff. -Mike Keith Addison wrote: >>[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> >> >> >>>sent several times from the above email.
