Greetings all, The message below slipped through the virus defenses I have on the list software *and* posted, even though marylouwa51... is not even a subscriber. Well, with the kindly help of some fellow list owners at Eskimo, I learned a couple of things about the Smartlist software that serves our list for us.
It turns out that the testing of the From: address of a submitted message, to see if the sender is a subscriber is a soft test involving a score of "alikeness" such that an exact match is not required to post. Grrr! Anyway, with this newfound wisdom, I've increased the threshhold to a sufficiently high value that none of these would have gotten through. We shouldn't see any more of them unless one happens to be sent with the From line forged with one of our actual subscribers addresses. Meanwhile, I'm working on the pathogen cleanup routines in order to de-fang the current crop of these beasts. I believe things will quiet down shortly. If you're not running anti-virus software *and* keeping it current, you should. I will do my best from this end, but you must protect yourself. Thank you for your patience. Be well, Mike Devour silver-list owner >>>>>>Begin included message: Date forwarded: Sun, 5 May 2002 14:26:09 -0700 Date sent: Sun, 5 May 2002 13:26:00 -0800 (AKDT) From: marylouwa51 <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Forwarded by: [email protected] Send reply to: [email protected] Subject: CS>Let's be friends [the rest -- snipped] [Mike Devour, Citizen, Patriot, Libertarian] [[email protected] ] [Speaking only for myself... ] -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
