Spam on birding-aus

[Koren Mitchell <>]

Hi Bill, Lawrie et al,

I suspect that spammers may be targeting both the list address and
individual addresses. When I look at the header information of the most
recent spam messages (there have been a few in the last day), they have
clearly been sent to the list, not to me individually. Like most people I
suspect, I don't usually read spam so I haven't looked at this
previously. 

Lawrie, have a look at the header information of the next spam message
you get at home and see whether it was sent to you or to the list (I'm
assuming that your home address isn't subscribed to the list).

Russell, what measures are in place (by you or Vicnet) to prevent
spammers from sending to the list? (I guess preventing them from
harvesting addresses from the archives is harder).

Cheers, Koren
