The thread began, I should note, not with the complaints but with a defense
of spamming sent to the list in response to my OFF-LIST exchange with that
sender;
The thread is now closed.On a more positive note regarding spam that
listmembers receive here or elsewhere, I've just received the following
message on another list and avail myself of the invitation to forward it:
>>Subject: AEGEANET Anti-Spam Web Site
>>Sender: aegeanet-owner@acpub.duke.edu
>>Precedence: bulk
>>Status: U
>>
>>I encourage anyone receiving spam to visit out the following web site,
>>dedicated to the eradication of spam and other forms of abuse of e-mail,
>>Usenet, &c.
>>
>>http://www.abuse.net
>>
>>Please feel free to distribute this message to other affected discussion
>>lists.

>Sorry to continue the thread, but here is a solution that has not yet
>been suggested. I urge all Aegeanet members to forward the unsolicited
>message (if you still have it) to postmaster@rocketmail.com. It is
>almost universal that these free Email accounts come with the stipulation
>that no bulk mailings will be sent out. If they are aware that this
>person sent out this bulk mailing, and enough people complain about it,
>they will probably drop her from their service. Be sure that the full
>mail header is included in the forward, this will show that it did come
>from their service.
