[GAGEN-L] Spam Question
by Denise (Kirkland) Smiley
Hello everyone,
This is mainly for anyone that has a mailing list on RootsWeb.
Over the last several weeks, I have received over 20 emails from 1 web site
trying to post the same information over and over again to the GADECATU-L.
Is anyone else that is hosting a mailing list receiving the same emails that
I am? The email that they are trying to post starts off with:
FREE Adult Offer -- Five FREE Minutes -- All LIVE
NEED A LITTLE SPICE IN YOUR LIFE?
All Your Desires Are Satisfied -- The Best LIVE CyberNet Models Do As
You Please!
ALL LIVE -- ALL DAY -- ALL NIGHT
I have tried everything that I know of to stop them from coming, with no
success. I have emailed every address in the message asking them to stop
and remove my list, and they are still coming. I have emailed
abuse@--------- for each email address list, still coming.
So I did some investigating last night. I found that the server where the
links lead to is a host for Adult Entertainment, and they sell web space.
In the Terms of the Agreement, it specifically states that mass mailing will
not be tolerated.
If anyone else is receiving the same emails, could you please forward me a
copy of the message. I would like to have proof that this site is doing
mass mailing and has targeted RootsWeb Mailing List. The may be what is
needed in order to stop the emails from targeting RootsWeb mailing lists.
Have a good day and Merry Christmas.
