[AMRadio] SPAM/Bounces

[W5AMI]

Fact is, YOU won't since you are using Yahoo.  Yahoo and AOL are not paying
attention.  It's not just this list, but many, if not all those on
qth.comthat are being effected.

The problem is that those in the group, who are not using Yahoo or AOL,
their ISP's are beginning to block the spam messages from this group as
SPAM, and the AMRadio list server will eventually turn their account off due
to excessive bounces, and those bounces are due to SPAM.

Jim/jo, please chime in here if you will.

I am not making this up folks.  I've run this list for many years and I am
seeing accounts disabled left and right over the last day or so over this.
