A list owner on our system received the message below. She cannot post messages to Listserv. The user had not been "served out". I suspect that her system is infected with a virus, but once that is fixed, I need to find out how to allow her to post again. Can someone please help me with that? Thanks, Scott Elder Subject: Message ("The LISTSERV network has determined that you have...") The LISTSERV network has determined that you have been posting an abnormally high amount of identical messages to multiple LISTSERV mailing lists. To ward against a possible spamming attempt, your posting privileges are being withdrawn for the next 48 hours, worldwide. While you will still be able to post to the mailing lists, your messages will be forwarded to the list owners for verification before they are distributed. 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. Please accept our apologies if this is what happened to you.
