Re: Dealing with SPAM?

For the record, this is not a list-specific issue--you'd get these emails regardless to whether you were on this mailing list or not. For security reasons, membership listings are restricted so only the administration can see it, therefore avoiding the types of programs that intentionally scan for email addresses. Also, in the mail archives, email addresses are intentially left partially corrupted to make it harder for spammers to catch on. So, again, it's not because you're subscribed to this list that you're receiing it. There's more than one way for people to obtain your email address if they're that intent on doing it, though most of it is just a lucky guess.

Anyway, as this has absolutely nothing to do with the list or JFW, I'd ask that any further problems with it be taken directly to me, off-list.

James,
List Admin

Your friend is right.  If you get an email list and this person is asking
for a big price, that means it's a spam.  Your best bet would be to delete
it and send an emailto the moderator.  Hopefully that will solve the
problem.
