Dear Voice-Users,
It is with great concern that I have been receiving the same spam as has =
everyone else.
Our mailing list has been reasonably effective at keeping it to a =
minimum, and in fact many have complimented the list as having a very =
high signal to noise ratio, and I appreciate their comments.
However, the 'Bull's Eye Email Spammer' is a major problem for many =
lists and newsgroups posters. We are not unique in this regard. He =
claims to have 57 million addresses. We are merely one of them. However, =
he is relatively effective as a moving target, and hence not as easy to =
block as others.
I have been having ongoing discussions with our ISP, Verio South =
Florida, about this issue. I understand that in approximately 2 - 3 =
weeks they will be instituting what they feel is an exceptionally =
effective 'Black Hole Filter' which will be updated in real time to =
block spam. They are aware of this spammer from our list as well as =
others, and they are of the opinion that their new filter will stop it.
Please bear with us while we institute these changes. Please be aware =
that we do everything reasonably possible to maintain the integrity of =
the list. We do not use it for our own commercial purposes. We do not =
sell the names. We do not provide the names to anyone at anytime! We =
apologize for the inconvenience, and believe that we are on track to =
fixing the problem.
Yours,
eric
