For help, please send mail to the webmaster (kb9vqf@...), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.[/quote] Is the list archive producing this message just for my IP? The first of those that don't is Dan's sent 14:06:08 -0700. The 9 March starter spam is pure forgery. It's the first and only spam with my name & sender address I can recall seeing come through the list. If more is being sent, it must be being trapped by Earthlink's own filters before it gets to my account. The archive does not permit by author listings that might allow me to look and see how many forgeries have made the list. AFAICT, I'm being victimized by false positive filtering as well as forgeries. It's become quite troublesome lately. I have yet to figure out what to do about it, only just having realized how bad it has become. Most of my email is to/from mailing lists, and I have seen little evidence of trouble with lists. Earthlink via BrightHouse/Spectrum has been my provider nearly 12 years, started when Time Warner/BrightHouse booted Internet Junction, my first and theretofore broadband provider, off the available alternatives on its cable system, the only broadband option where I am. deloptes did email to me about spamming here "from me" privately, a month ago, but nothing came of it. Contacting Tim via direct email for me has historically been impossible. Resolving trouble in the past has been done via a borrowed email account using webmail to work around the false positives or filtering or outright domain blocking. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
