I am a relativaly new list owner and I have a question. My list recently
received a long posting that turned out to be a chain letter (over 500 lines).
It is my understanding that the waste of server time and resources that stem
from this sort of thing are against net protocols. I am wondering what sort of
response I should take to this action. The user did add a small bit of comment
based on the lists discussion topic, but he acknologed that it was " to make
his post a legitimate post. I feel that using the topic knowing he was
*covering* the chain letter by posting legitimate information, he was aware of
the fact he had breached net protocols. A bit of guidance as to how I should
handle this would be greatly apreciated.

    I know that such posting at the university I work at will result in the
loss of your accounts and all access to the nets. Is this to stiff?
