EXAMPLE:
A network wide spamming alert has just been received from
[log in to unmask] concerning messages posted by
[log in to unmask] to multiple LISTSERV lists. For the next 48
hours, all messages posted by [log in to unmask] to local mailing
lists will be forwarded to the list owners for verification. The poster will
not be informed when this happens, to make it more difficult for him to
re-target the lists which successfully repelled the spam. The poster has
been informed by [log in to unmask] that his access to certain
lists would be subject to human verification, but no further details were
provided. A copy of the original alert from [log in to unmask] is
enclosed.
A "spam" is an advertisement or other unsolicited material sent to large
numbers of mailing lists with no consideration for whether or not the
material is appropriate for the lists it is being sent to. A single "spam"
can result in the delivery of millions of unwanted e-mail messages
worldwide, costing the victims and service providers a total of several
hundred thousand dollars. The cost to the spammer is usually under five
dollars. To be effective, a counter-measure must neutralize the spam within
the first five minutes. Consequently, there is no time for all the LISTSERV
servers to compare notes with each other before acting, and some legitimate
postings may be intercepted erroneously.
------------------------------ Original alert ------------------------------
A message with subject "Fw: Invito alla conferenza sulla crisi degli Enti
scientifici - Roma 19 aprile 2001" posted by [log in to unmask] to
the ORGANI-CHIM list at CNR.IT has been identified as a possible spam
because [log in to unmask] had previously posted an identical
message to a large number of LISTSERV lists.
