JDH>>>> Not doubt you all got the same SPAM mail as I, but I wonder how
JDH>>>> many of you noticed the header information:
MDP> I didn't actually see this message. Who was the originator?
I don't see either, but I saw he tried to Subscribe to TBBETA and TBUDL
List.
>>> Grrrr. Apparently somebody took the time to subscribe to the list,
>>> and then used that subscribe address to spam the list.
>>> I'm sorry that this has happened, and I will be spending some time
>>> tracking this offender down. Unfortunately, there is no way to
>>> prevent this. Any one of us subscribed to the list can just as
>>> easily spam the list.
>>> This address will be unsubscribed immediately.
MDP> I personally prefer to leave such subscribers subscribed with a
MDP> "READ ONLY" setting. That way, they cannot spam the list again but
MDP> are themselves stuck receiving list traffic. It worked to good
MDP> effect on a Korean Mother Board supplier a couple of months back.
MDP> Once he started complaining about being on a list he "did not
MDP> subscribe to", I took great pleasure in pointing out how unwelcome
MDP> and unsociable his behaviour was in the first place. Once he had
MDP> apologised, I removed him - but not until.
Sorry, I did, just now.
But if still, I will send notification to all of his upstream MTA.
>>> Again, sorry, but it is impossible to stop someone who spams in
>>> this manner.
MDP> ... but using the above method, they think more carefully about
MDP> doing it again.
t>> is it possible to make subscribers agree that any action like
t>> spamming the list is illegal and that they agree that if they do
t>> that they performed an illegal act etc??
Sometimes, they think that is the effective way to "announce" his
product/services, but IMHO by sending to list is the fatal way.
