Subject: Re: CS>[List Owner] Investment spam posts?


Speaking of spam, I have got to do something.  This morning I had 10,000
spam messages, and I am going to not get anything done today but delete
spams from my box. I am using Netscape and eudora for my mail, and I need a
good spam buster. The server has spam assissian on it, but even at 90%
effectiveness I still get over 1,000 through it over a weekend.  It seems
that every time I look for a good spam program they tell me I have to
switch to outlook for my mail client, but there is no way I am trading spam
for viruses and worms, I would rather deal with the spam.

Any suggestions?

Hi everybody! Your list owner is ON THE JOB!!!

Okay, when one of these investment posts came through from somebody
calling themselves [email protected], I figured that a member thought it
was interesting and sent it along. It would have been nice if they had
said something so we knew why they wanted to post it, but, in fact, it
was talking about using ozone for food sanitation... a relatively
obvious alternative health reference.

Then a *second* copy comes under a different Subject line, from the
same address. Now this starts looking like SPAM.

So I went and checked the subscriber file and we don't even *have* a
[email protected] ... and when you think about it the odds of anyone
even having an address like b...@... from any large domain is pretty
much nil. I'm sure [email protected] was taken the first day verizon was
handing out userid's, probably to an employee, and that person is
unlikely to be a member here. It's most likely a forgery.

Digging a bit deeper, it turns out these *were* spam, and they got
posted because we have an extremely similar user name already
subscribed, and I had the threshold for accepting submissions set to
"tight" but not "exact," and that was good enough to let it through.

I've changed it now so the list server requires an *exact* match to the
subscriber list entry. I hope this won't cause anyone a problem
posting. If that happens, let me know. My personal e-mail address is in
the footer at the bottom of every list message.

Thought you'd all like to know... <GRIN>

Be well,

  PDSC is poised to be the standard for the multi-billion dollar food

  non-organic foods. Billions of American, and International, consumers
  will receive quality, non-toxic, fresh fruits, vegetables and meats.

  An estimated 76 million Americans suffer from food-borne illnesses
  every year, an issue which concerns food producers, processors and
  retailers.
