Dear LM_NET, In the past couple of days those who post to LM_NET have been receiving a mesage from an anti-spam service, requiring registration if they want to send mail to a certain person. However, the anti-spam company does not specify who that individual is. They also pretend they are LM_NET! Phooey! I have contacted the anti-spam company to ask who that is, so I can drop them or the person can change anti-spam providers. It is also possible that this is some sort of spam in order to get us to use their anti-spam services. Please AVOID this company if you are subscribed to any listserver. It is called DropSpam. Still under investigation.... Typical message follows: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- >> You recently sent an e-mail to me at LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU. >> >> Your message was NOT delivered. >> >> My mailbox is protected against e-mail viruses and junk e-mail by >> www.dropspam.com. >> Since you are reading this, it's very unlikely that your message >> was, in fact, spam. >> >> Please click on the link below to be authenticated. You will not >> need to authenticate again, and all of your future mail will be >> delivered without delay. >> >> Please follow this link to add yourself to my approved sender list. >> >> http://verify.dropspam.com/verify.cgi?key=2520/macbarb% >> 40charter.net/aae01773/1 >> >> Thank you! >> >> LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU >> ---------------------------------------------------------------- The above excerpt was only an example. Please DO NOT use their service!!
