Stan is right and Stan is wrong. This is a list for inexperienced
listserv owners as well as all you experienced folks. I deliberately
sent that message thinking that perhaps a lot of us received it, and
wanting to get technical help explaining to the other newbies on the
list how to proceed if you do. I am a semi-newbie; were I a total
newbie that would have freaked the living bejeebers out of me.
The information about anti-SPAM networks was very useful -- but
it is not off-topic to show newbies the variety in which SPAM can
appear. This is an informational list for people of ALL types of
experience.
Not everybody would have understood that was a SPAM in the first place.
That was part of the point.
And I also wondered, though I didn't say, if the SPAM was a result of
being on this list, or my automatic response to requests to join my
owner-subscription lists. Which, I would think, IS germaine to this
list.
