After re-reading my own message, that message is misleading as well. What I am referring to are messages that arrive with blank fields in the FROM and SUBJECT fields. Some seem to have Business logos within parentisis, which display nothing and are unuseable in an automated mail sorter. I cannot even bounce the message back to the source. I would encourage the list administrator to regard messages with blank fields as a form of SPAM. With SPAM I belive a zero tolerance policy is in effect, with this I would encourage a one-strike policy exist.
This is a forwarded message From: DJR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, April 25, 2002, 2:18:19 PM Subject: Policy Amendment ===8<==============Original message text=============== Of late several members have put either bogus or misleading information into both the subject line and/or the FROM field coupled with parentisis which often does not display. The purpose is to keep people from making replies off list. I don't have a problem with that intent, but it does create a problem for automated mail sorters, rendering them ineffective. In the case of the FROM field, I request a policy change REQUIRING some personalized identifier, even if that identifier goes nowhere. And that identifer MUST NOT use parentisis. In the case of the subject field, I request that something appear there, without parentisis, even if it's just the word "BLANK". All fields must have some content. In the interm, I request all persons with incomplete headers be temporarily bounced and not permitted to post until the full header requirement is met.
