(OT} Spam influx
Locked

With the spate of spam messages, I'd like to humbly suggest that the
list owner switch the list to Moderated status for a time...at least, long enough for the spammers to get tired of their messages not getting out. -- 73 de N5ILN Alan NAQCC # 6139 ARRL EmComm Field Instructor ARES Assistant District Emergency Coordinator Monterey County, CA ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

That won't accomplish anything other than to make a lot more work for the Elecraft guys. It doesn't cost the spammers the slightest measurable bit extra ... in terms of money, time, or effort ... to send messages to a dead end once they have the address. The only thing that it does is prevent them from being able to represent the address to their reprehensible clients as a "premium" one ... i.e., vulnerable. Besides, at least some of these spam emails are the result of some list user's address book being compromised, and there's nothing to prevent that happening to multiple users over and over again. Putting the list on moderate status might make things nicer for us, but it doesn't make the spammers go away ... ever.

No spam here. I might get, at most, one or two spam messages a week that make it thru my filters. Once I declare it as junk via Mac mail, the signature is recognized and I never see that spam source again. Unfortunately, this does not usually include the spam coming via Elecraft but still, it is not a problem -- even very infrequent from Elecraft reflector.

By now we all should know what SPAM is by either the header alone or
a non-sensical message & link. Sometimes just the link alone with no real message is the obvious but regardless, don't click on it & do click delete.

Exactly. Obviously, anyone who suggests changing the list to moderated
status has never been a moderator. This only works if there are several moderators who have time to check the messages awaiting approval throughout the day. On a list this active, if that doesn't happen, messages are delayed, and the value of the list diminishes to its members. Then there are the complaints to be dealt with also, about messages not posting in a timely manner. Eric has a business to run. This is a hassle that he doesn't need. 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 11/13/2012 9:43 AM, David Gilbert wrote: > That won't accomplish anything other than to make a lot more work for > the Elecraft guys.

Thread closed in the interest of keeping list volume under control.
Please do not discuss spam on the list - It only serves to cause further interference to the normal threads of discussion.. The list server at qth.net already has a lot of anti-spam filtering, but when a spammer uses a legit subscribed address for a poster, it can sometimes slip through. Please contact the moderator if you have further concerns. 73, Eric Lost moderator --- www.elecraft.com On 11/13/2012 9:43 AM, David Gilbert wrote: > That won't accomplish anything other than to make a lot more work for > the Elecraft guys.

And, unfortunately, AT&T chooses to use Yahoo to process email for AT&T customers, so AT&T email domains like mine that end in @swbell.net, @sbcglobal.net, @bellsouth.net, @att.net, etc are as vulnerable as the accounts that actually say "Yahoo" in the address. Don't let the fact that your email domain does not say YAHOO lull you into a false sense of security. I found that out the hard way.
Maybe AT&T is listening. Naw.
