Greetings. A number of list members have contacted me about the spam message that sneaked its way into your CanberraBirds email list today. The list receives many hundreds of spam messages each day. Most are blocked at the email sever or through my own spam trapping facilities. As list manager, I receive over 100 of them every day at my home computer, redirected from CanberraBirds.

In other words, the spam trapping that COG has in place works extremely well. Note that over 90% of all emails transmitted globally are spam. Every time people work out how to stop spam, the spammers work out a way around it.

I think I have identified how 'Sirina' got her message to your list (and 'she' has sent another dozen or so messages, that have been trapped by my anti-spam facilities, to COG addresses today). I trust that the changes I have made to the spam trapping will block 'her' from now on.

Best wishes - David
