Junk Mail

[Tom Droege <tdroege@veriomail.com>]

I get about a message a day where someone is trying to distribute junk mail 
through the tass list server.  They must be pretty desperate to try to send 
mail to tass members.  ;^)

If any of you receive junk mail that appears to come from the tass list, 
let me know.  The procedure is to make *ubscribing to tass automatic.  I do 
look at the address of new subscribers and if it does not look like someone 
that wants to be on the tass list, I *nsubscribe them and then send them a 
mail message asking for their qualifications to be on the list.  So far, 
this seems to work.  I have caught a few trying to sneak on the list that 
just went away when I asked why they wanted to join the list.

For those who need to know:

To subscribe send mail to:   Majordomo@listserv.wwa.com

In the body of the message put:

*ubscribe tass            to subscribe

un*ubscribe tass          to unsubscribe

Note in the above replace * with s to do the thing.  This is apparently a 
protection you cannot say *ubscribe without the mail server rejecting the 
message.
