Hi Geoff and Joakim, Electronic spam is very very sad attribute of moden computing. Spamming just seems to get worse faster than spam filters can get rid of it. Spam I see that gets through tends to have subject lines related to software developement, licensing, it almost seems like spam is being personalised these days to try and get through. Its quite simply disgusts me which every way I look att it.
The OSG mailing list should hide email addresses on the archive, and the list also rejects all messages from people that arn't subscribed, so the list itself shouldn't be forwarding spam. Other possibilities are that the spam bots are getting better at hacking servers to get email address, or perhaps better are decoding the mangling of email address posted on sites. Perhaps they are even hacking servers that pass mail around the web. It does now only seem to be time before spam eventually finds your email address and you are flooded. Are there are extra tricks we are missing? Robert. On 10/25/06, Geoff Michel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Of course it is spam but the only way to get the address used is to extract it from this mailing list, whether automatically or someone misusing my address as a login to a dodgy site. The address is only used with this mailing list. No suggestion that spam is being sent via OSG is meant or implied. Oh, and Spam is not a performance enhancing drug.
