This is a list for inexperienced listserv owners as well as all you experienced folks. I deliberately sent that message thinking that perhaps a lot of us received it, and wanting to get technical help explaining to the other newbies on the list how to proceed if you do. I am a semi-newbie; were I a total newbie that would have freaked the living bejeebers out of me. The information about anti-SPAM networks was very useful -- but it is not off-topic to show newbies the variety in which SPAM can appear. This is an informational list for people of ALL types of experience. Not everybody would have understood that was a SPAM in the first place. That was part of the point. And I also wondered, though I didn't say, if the SPAM was a result of being on this list, or my automatic response to requests to join my owner-subscription lists. Which, I would think, IS germaine to this list. Mary
