Folks,
Please take LSTOWN-L off the "followup list" (so to speak). The next
version of LISTSERV has code to detect and neutralize spams. This and 2
other spams have been correctly detected by the beta sites. Naturally
since most LISTSERV sites aren't running the beta, the message did hit
most of the targeted lists, but in a few months LISTSERV list owners (the
people on the LSTOWN-L list) will be shielded from the bulk of this
nonsense. The issue of purposeful abuse of resources made available for
the greater good of the community remains an interesting one, but I don't
see any need to carry it in parallel on two lists. Thank you.
Eric
