Q&A, Help, etc. about SPAM can be best addressed on the
LISTSERV(R) list specifically created for same: SPAM-L@
peach.ease.lsoft.com. BUT first you must subscribe via
the LISTSERV@ address.
Here is a list of SUBJECT: TOPICS
----------
Topic Purpose
----- -------
CC full-text of SPAM
ME-TOO "I ALSO received this SPAM"
ABUSE "I sent the following nastygram to [log in to unmask]"
ABUSE-RE "I received the following response from [log in to unmask]"
COURT text related to law/statutes or pending litigation
MEDIA what the popular press has to say about SPAM
HELP if you need assitance in either decoding a received
SPAM (not SPAM-L) message or need assistance in
contacting a service providor/system administrator
Here is some general info about how one goes about setting
their personal filter distribution options for the SPAM-L
list
It takes 3 things to acomplish your task via Revised LISTSERV
techology:
1) list-owner has setup the list's TOPICS feature in the
definition (see above)
2) you, the subscriber, have previously
e-mailed [log in to unmask]
SET SPAM-L TOPICS: -MEDIA
which only is effective for mail distributions, and not
for DIGEST/INDEX mailings and have indicated to LISTSERV
that you are interested in all Subjects that do NOT have
a MEDIA topic
3) the SPAM-L poster uses a valid Subject: in their posting
SUBJECT: MEDIA: xxxxxxx
Thus, thes SPAM-L subscriber who had previously issued the
above SET would NOT receive this post.
You might find other useful discussion on the TOPICS=
keyword by sending the following to [log in to unmask]
/* --------------------- clip and save ---------------- */
//ListSrch JOB Echo=no
Database Search DD=Rules OUTLIM=2000 f=mail
//Rules DD *
S topics= in lstown-l where sender contains (eric or gerland or pmw1)
index #.5 date.8 sender.17 subject.46
print
/*
// EOJ
/* --------------------- clip and save ---------------- */
To SEARCH the SPAM-L archives, send a one-line e-mail
to: [log in to unmask]
SEARCH (string1 OR string2) AND (string3 OR string4) IN SPAM-L
The Boolean expression above is just a small sample of the syntax
available via LISTSERV technology.
