The Spam Scam
Over the last week, one of the anti-spam databases has my server
listed. We don't spam, but we ended up in the database. The
obnoxious part is that they charge 50 bucks to remove you IF you can
prove you are not violating their rules...so you either pay 50 bucks
or wait 4 weeks to be removed automatically.
How do you get on the list? If you bounce back mail because it's
spam, and it goes back to an address that was used by the spammer in
his/her email(but NOT his/her sending address).
From my perspective, the policy is simply a way for someone in
Europe to make a lot of money by creating problems for folks.
In any event....a lot of messages addressed to list members at ATT
SBCglobal never made it there.
So, you might want to check the archives if you suspect you're not
getting the mail http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
Posting Policy
I'm seeing a lot of messages that require me to authorize posting to
the list because they are NOT from an address that is subscribed to
the list. If you subscribed from an address like
[email protected] and attempt to post from your work address, a
friend's, the library, etc...your message will not make it.
I try to alert folks when their message is of the type detailed
above, but with all the spam, it's harder for me to sift the wheat
from the chaff.
If you don't get reponses to your posts....Check the archive to see
if it made it to the list....if it didn't, make sure you posted from
a subscribed address.
Thanks
