The IndexInfocus archives are not indexed by search engines, when that's all there was, we were fairly anonymous. Are you sure, I recall googling and following a link to the list archives. Craig --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
[U2] [OT] Has anyone exoerienced a HUGE increase of Spam?
I have experienced a HUGE increase in SPAM lately and I was wondering if somehow the users list has been utilized to facilitate that. I am not thinking that the origin is knowingliy from the administrators of this fine list -- but if this list was somehow lifted or otherwise absconded... --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

One possible source: the list is now archived at gmane which barely munges the email addresses, only replacing '@' with ' at '. http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.u2.general/ I prefer mail-archive.com which doesn't even show them, it replaces anything resembling an email address with '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. http://www.mail-archive.com/u2-users%40listserver.u2ug.org/ (and some older stuff: http://www.mail-archive.com/u2-users%40oliver.com/) The IndexInfocus archives are not indexed by search engines, when that's all there was, we were fairly anonymous. I have mail filters on everything coming in, so I don't really notice an increase if it happens. A few message slip through, just a minor annoyance. -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Apparantly there are a few new varients of blaster and bagel out there, our local news station ran a story on it. I'm guessing a bunch more non-patched, non-updated XP's got owned and are sprewing spam.

It's unlikely that the list is being used directly for spam for two reasons: 1) The lists are closed lists, which means that one must be subscribed to the list in order to post to it. 2) The majordomo commands to retrieve the list of subscribers have been disabled, so one cannot harvest the addresses on the list. The only persons with access to the full subscriber list are the moderators.
