Apparently someone's machine is infected with an email-worm, which has used my jcooper address (which I stopped using several years ago) as the return address.
I started using an autoresponder after experimenting with spam-net, spamassassin, and qurb for well over a year. When you receive hundreds of spam per day, 9x% isn't good enough. Since I started using a responder, I have received virtually zero spam, aside from those individuals like nigerian scammers, who make an effort to respond by hand. Yes, there are frustrating misfires, caused by worms, but in the last year, this is the only major incident. Ward, thanks for the link to dspam.sf.net, I'll see if I can get my ISP to use it. > Requests to have list archives altered to hide the evidence of > your mis-deeds doesn't work either. Clearly I've touched a nerve with Mr. Coker! The virtiolic nature of his response here, and the public posting of my private email address which I was trying to protect, is simply inane and immature. Next time, Mr. Coker, consider a private email, before publically hanging someone. Yes, I have asked the list manager to at least remove my personal johnc address from the archive, which was so needlessly cc'd there. (Notice I'm replying from my "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" address which I use for public postings). Secondarily, if the list managers so desire, they can remove this whole thread, which is totally off topic for this list in the first place. -John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
