If you can figure out the originating domain from the header just send a polite nastygram (if that's not an oxymoron) to postmaster, abuse, and admin @ that address. Incidentally I've been getting a fairly decent amount of e-mail spam here on CapitalNet and was wondering how bad it is for other users. If it's really bad we could ask the admins to filter out the offending domains. Ironically one piece of spam I got was from someone promoting an anti-spam e-mail service!!! After complaining to their postmaster I got a message back apologizing for the spam and, you guessed it-- promoting the service again! *sigh* Bill sysbrc@cnsvax.albany.edu (Gandalf the Grey) wrote: > >One of the users at my site noticed the off topic articles in the >capdist news groups (announcements for photo-oriented web sites) >and brought it to my attention. > >I've canceled the article locally - but was wondering if there was >anything more that I could or should do. > > thanks, > > Brian > > *===========================================================================* > | Brian R Cuttler | phone 518-442-3906 fax 518-442-3697 | > | VMS System Manager | email sysbrc@cnsvax.albany.edu | > | State Univ of NY at Albany | url http://www.albany.edu/~sysbrc | > *===========================================================================* > -- Stephanie A.
