I am so entertained reading each analysis of this situation. I don't need CSI or Sue Grafton--I've got this listserve. You guys are all that!

Eric Bradley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu Sent: Tue, 4 Apr 2006 12:58:12 -0400 Subject: Re: MacGroup: label specialties loc: Louisville, KY I'm seeing one of two scenarios here - One: Glenn is subscribed to the listserv at that email address, and his email account is sending out an autoresponder to anyone who sends an email to the list (and hence to his mailbox), with it programmed to respond to only the first email it receives from a given address (easy to do in Windows Outlook). So, if you post to the list before he gets back, you get an autoresponse. That being the case, I should get one shortly. Two: Somebody is getting these emails on (most likely) a Windows box, and has a virus problem. In that case, the infected machine is gathering up email addresses as they arrive and spitting spam to Glenn's box with listserv members' addresses spoofed as the sender. I'll let you know if I get one from him just after this posts, in which case it's probably scenario #1. On Apr 4, 2006, at 12:22 PM, mikewatk wrote: Hey! I said I didn't recall having heard fro the mysterious Glenn. I then did! Just got the message below: I am on vacation until the 10 of April. I will not be able to read my mail until I return. If you need to get in touch with someone you may call Jill (502-261-9000 Ex 119)or fax to Jill (502-261-9001) Thank You Glenn Mike On Apr 4, 2006, at 11:51 AM, mikewatk wrote: Group: Puzzle somewhat solved! Glenn is a guy who actually works with Label Specialties, and so does Jill. I don't know if I have gotten any mail from them myself or not... I always delete unknown stuff immediately. I know a man who may or may not subscribe to our MacGroup list, named Alan Bird. He's a nice man and a friend of mine. I have noticed an Alan Bird on our Mac-list before, and wondered if it was the same fellow I know. I also know Alan does labels and embroidery thing for companies, etc. So I called the web site phone number and asked for Alan Bird. He does NOT work there. However, Glenn is one of their salesmen and he does a lot of business with U of L, especially the Hospital. The woman I spoke with said they don't send out Spam; she apologized. She said Glenn really is on vacation now... she will tell him to check when he returns, and to remove us from his list of "mailees"... that it was a mistake. U of L is a big customer of his. She was very nice... and I believe she was being truthful. (She didn't tell me whether Jill is cute or not.) By the way, I did NOT give the woman our E-mail address.
