Marilson Mapa -

The subject of a post to arin-ppml doesn’t matter; it appears any message 
posted to arin-ppml results in the poster receiving a private email with spam 
of same subject (i.e. apparently the result of an arin-ppml list subscriber 
triggering a spam script.)

Nevertheless, I continued to receive requests to stop and offenses. Nine hours 
later there would be still someone that would call me an idiot and would ask 
for expulsion from the list. It became obvious that they used the return of 
spam to insult and ask for expulsion but the real reason was unconfessable. 
Truth always bothers those who despise ethics..

You received warning regarding violations of the ARIN Mailing List AUP and the 
specifics were already detailed in that warning message.   For avoidance of 
doubt, I will summarize them again here:  1) you made repeated attacks on the 
character of other persons in your emails, 2) you forwarded not one spam 
message but multiple spam emails to the list, and 3) these forwarded messages 
had pornographic attachments.

Despite the violations, you have not had posting privileges blocked, as it was 
apparent that you had ceased forwarding the referenced spam messages and has 
been hoped that you can maintain a professional demeanor going forward in your 
postings.  As you have already been warned, failure to follow the AUP going 
forward will result in an immediate suspension of your arin-ppml posting 
privileges.

Mr. John, I'm sorry but I need to ask: is it safe to reply to a message from 
the list using the same subject? Have you apologized to the members of the list 
for this unfortunate event?

We have not been able to isolate the subscriber email which triggers these 
replies (or it would have already been removed from the list.) These spam 
messages do not go to posters via ARIN’s email systems, so correlation is not 
readily achievable (and why some email lists have moved to anonymizing sender 
addresses so that email addresses of list participants cannot be readily 
extracted)

While we continue to work the problem, blocking the source address of the 
offending spam (which seems to be consistent as <samanthasmith691606  at 
lb.fefty.com<mailto:[email protected]>>) will have to suffice 
for those posting to arin-ppml.   This has indeed been an unfortunate situation 
(one made worse through your repeated spam forwarding and character attacks) 
and I do apologize to the ARIN community for these recent distractions on what 
has otherwise been a very productive and focused list.

Thank you,
/John
