Moderators, for discuss and users list, only spam protect the lists if it comes from unsubscribed users. Looking at the headers of the email at the beginning of this thread (haven't looked at any others from this person) the user is subscribed. Moderators are not responsible for banning/removing subscribed users. Checking the users email address verifies that the user and mailbox does exist. Also it appears it is an educational institution, therefore if someone was serious enough I'm sure a complaint could be put through those channels. I would however suggest that those not wishing to complete the survey, ignore the user. /paul > > > On 2008.01.23. 17:17, Twayne wrote: > > ... > > > Vishal, > > > > > > Since there is no way to know who this is and he seems completely > > > unknown to the group, I would simply ignore him, or if you know how to > > > parse headers, issue a complaint if there are forgeries in any of the > > > headers. > > > Newsgroups are favorite plaes for robots and crawlers to scrape > > > e-mail addresses.
