I just got off the phone with an administrator who has had three AOL acco=
unts
added to lists on her system -- apparently using faked mail.
 
America Online screen names (the equivalent of userids) can contain space=
s on
the AOL system -- for example, "Joe User" would be a valid AOL screen nam=
e.
Spaces in screen names are removed to form the user's Internet address --=
 so
"Joe User" would become [log in to unmask] (names are case insensitive).
 
The addresses added to the lists mentioned above *included* spaces -- whi=
ch
were rendered as "=FF" (y-umlaut) in the mail sent to me.
 
If you see any such subscriptions or subscription attempts, please send m=
e
e-mail with the username of the person(s) affected. If you can trap the
original subscription message headers, it would help as well. You will mo=
st
likely want to delete the subscriptions as well.
