Re: [atari-midi-archives] Digest Number 176

Hey Y'all -

I would be very cafeful about sending any kind of reply to these spam
addresses.
Once you do, they add your personal address to their data-bases - they know
it has a human being on the other end.

These spams are annoying enough coming through a user group.  How'd would
you like this crap coming directly to you, in bucket-fulls!  I'm sure these
spammers buy, sell and trade our addresses.

"atari-midi-archives@yahoogroups.com" is on the Spammers lists.  As soon as
the moderator (Tim?) blocks one spam address, the spammer creates a new
Yahoo or Hotmail account and sends more crap to
"atari-midi-archives@yahoogroups.com".

Perhaps the moderator (Tim?) can create a block list that stops anything
mentioning interest rates or sexual performance.

The only other solution I can see is to change the group's address to
something like atari-midi-archival@yahoogroups.com and let us all know.

Then, wait a few months til the spammers find us again.

David

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
