Folks,
Is there any way that the list managers can block these PayPal scam emails?
Thank you,
Dave
Maybe they can, but that won't block the Internet Pharmacy scams which will
arrive tomorrow from a different posting IP address, nor the bogus eBay
questions, BankAmerica warnings, or software offers of the day after. All in
all, considering the low volume of spam that reaches me with @vim.org in "To
or Cc" as compared to the proportion of spam in the rest of my email, I
suspect that a lot of the worst crap is already filtered away by the Vim servers.
I'd say the little amount of it that gets through should be "beneath our
notice": let's delete it unopened (other than with "View Source" in the
doubtful cases). Remember that making the filters too strict will block an
increasing proportion of "legitimate" Vim mail. I'd rather not miss any "false
positive" legit mail, even at the cost of getting a few "false negative" spam.
Best regards,
Tony.
