[AMRadio] SPAM/Bounces

[Todd, KA1KAQ]

Wow, no sooner did I post this than another batch came through the
server. 10 email messages with multiple alerts in each one. Most are
Yahoo, some juno and aol.

Here's an example:

This is a Mailman mailing list bounce action notice:

   List:       AMRadio
   Member:     kc4qlp at aol.com
   Action:     Subscription disabled.
   Reason:     Excessive or fatal bounces.


I know this fellow personally, bought a RA-1000 from him a few years
ago. He is not a spammer, but his aol account is being used to dump
spam on these lists.

If I quoted just one of the entire email messages we get, you'd think
I was spamming the list due to the number of citations listed. This
isn't something that can be handled on a case-by-case basis as it's
too overwhelming. I'd suggest folks move to gmail or one of the other,
'clean' email services, as Jim mentioned. Gmail is extremely good in
the spam dept., best I've ever seen. AOL has never been known for a
proactive, or even 'active' approach to anything.
