This iaf.net discussion is very interesting. I agree that this topic is
germain to lstown-l because Listserv lists are being used by an individual to
accumulate addresses for a database. About half an hour ago, I sent a
message to [log in to unmask] to say that collecting mailing lists from any
Listserv lists run on the system I maintain is not permitted without prior
University permission. I am curious to see what kind of response I get
back from their postmaster.
By the way, speaking of spams, there are something like 200 Listserv lists
running here. Each time a spam is posted to any of the lists where
SEND=PRIVATE I get a copy of that spam message. Is it possible to have those
copies sent to some kind of bit bucket where they will all be deleted
automatically rather than to my postmaster account? Each spam results in my
postmaster account being flooded with copies of the message. This is
undesirable although the SPAM reports the spam filter are nice.
