Re: From Joy

I've received 7 or 8 copies of this so far today. I would like to know:

a) Did someone actually farm the list?

b) How many more spammers are going to be able to retreive our names from
this list?

If the list administrator is listening in, I bet there are others here who
also have questions about this.

Re: From Joy

Just a note:
Do not reply to spam - EVER

As much as you may like to tell a spammer quite what you think of them - the problem is:

1. They usually send from invalid email addresses - either 'made up' or belonging to someone else.

2. If their address is valid - you will have just confirmed your email address is valid and you may then receive more spam.

Hopefully the listserve administrator has good filter software.

Re: [Spam] from Joy

In reply to this post by Mark A Davenport MADAVENP

A spam to SPSSX-L, and maybe other lists and to UGA:

A lot of list members have received a message "From Joy" beginning
something like,

Yes, it's spam. At 01:33 PM 8/11/2008, Mark A Davenport MADAVENP wrote:

I've received four. I notice responses to SPSSX-L; did anyone receive
a copy from the list? I haven't, but the list is distributed by
several servers, with different filtering rules.

The list administrator doesn't monitor the list. But the question
came up a while back, and list administrator Jean Snow wrote then,

So, more or less, it's easy to get at full archives of the list,
including all addresses. This one looks like it is from harvesting
lists hosted at UGA (there are several), since it includes "I saw
your profile at www.listserv.uga.edu". Not very smart harvesting,
luckily, since hardly any of us are at UGA.

But, Jean, I'll bet this hit people who ARE at UGA, too. On the face
of it, it isn't as dangerous as the recent phish, but you certainly
want to know.
