I've gotten several messages referred to me as possible spams. They do
not appear to be spams and it's not clear to me why they were
identified as such. The only thing that I can think of is that they
came through the [log in to unmask] gateway. Since the majority of
posts to the PCIP list come that way, it could be a significant
problem. They weren't all from the same person or with the same
subject.
It would be nice to have a better way of OKing them. With me resending
them to the list, they go through the Netnews gateway again. Also,
it's a pain.

Subject: PCIP: possible spam from [log in to unmask]
To: Roger Fajman <[log in to unmask]>
The following message was submitted by [log in to unmask] to the PCIP list at
LIST.NIH.GOV. It is being forwarded to you for verification because the message
has been identified as a possible "spam", that 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. If this is the case, simply
forward this message back to the list with an explanatory note.

I thought I remembered seeing, in this newsgroup, a comment to the
effect that one could purchase a site license for the LAN Workplace
stack, with none of the applications, from Novell, quite cheaply. I'd
be interested in this if it were true. I'm trying to find out from
Novell, but they keep referring me to our dealer, who would prefer to
sell us someone else's much more expensive product, so I thought I'd
check here too. Does anyone know whether this deal exists? How much it
costs?
Many thanks!
