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. -- Rich Greenberg Work: Rich.Greenberg atsign worldspan.com +1 770-563-6656 N6LRT Marietta, GA, USA Play: richgr atsign panix.com +1 770-321-6507 Eastern time zone.
