Hi Every one, in reference to the message from Sir Troth, James is a
friend of mine and does not realise what he has done , he is getting so much
spam like all of us are getrting and did not know that this thing that he
installed would create so much concern. At the moment he is all screwed up
with Spam Inspector, it has stopped 90% of his email , including PCTech
Talk , he wants to know how to get rid of it , he had a 30 day free trial ,
now expired and it still stops his email from coming in. Can anybody help
him . His addy is james711@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Lionel.

has had to deal with that. In the past, we've had our share of
auto-responders that members forgot to adjust for the list, but never a
sort-of auto-responder such as this. But, there's always a first time, and
this IS that first time.

be fair. Its very possible that he just wasn't aware that it would be
requesting verification from each and every person posting to the list.
Someone mentioned that he can just pre-authorize everyone or pre-authorize
the list. It doesn't exactly work that easy. The verification is based on
the "FROM" address, not the "REPLY-TO" address. PCTechTalk is the "REPLY-TO"
address. The "FROM" address is whoever actually posts. Therefore, there
really is no efficient way for him to pre-authorize you.

No one's being punished, banned, removed or otherwise. A friendly notice was
been sent to make him aware of the problem (of which I'm sure he already
knows), and I'm confident he'll either re-subscribe using a different addy
or remove the SpamArrest process from his current subscribed address.

sit tight for just maybe one more day.
