#83804 - I got the spam too
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Joseph Hebert said:
This user sent me an email message asking the same question. Now I have no objection to forum members sending me email, but this one appeared to be a form message. He didn't even address it to me. Did anyone else receive a message that looks like this?

Do we really want to let people join the forum just to use the roll as a SPAM database? (Note that Mr. Agarwal just joined the forum this very day, 24 December, 2004.)


I got the message too. It was (correctly) caught by my spam filter. I definitely don't want people joining to use the member list as a spam database but I'm at a loss of how we can solve this problem--other than maybe setting your email preference to "Allow email through 8052.com" which will at least make it more time consuming for someone to email bomb us.

I'm closing this thread. Please continue discussion of this problem here.
