[CW] Most SPAM is html, which was thrown away and now it won't be. (for that reason)

[David Ring]

It is obvious that one of our subscribers has (had?) a Trojan/virus which
took over his mail sending program.

SPAM won't come through the QTH.net reflectors unless sent by a subscriber.
New subscriber notices are sent to the list owners and to subscribe you
either have to contact one of the list owners (for blind or handicapped) or
pass a "write down the letters you see" test which being a picture, spam
robots cannot yet do.

In any event, when ever there is such spam, one of the owners will as
quickly as possible place that member (only) on moderation and then contact
the list member and explain the situation and ask for resolution.

Please be a bit patient with the list owners - I caught the spam fairly
quickly - but in the time it took me to put that sender on moderation, the
Trojan / virus  in his computer "robot" sent a few more.

If any questions, please contact n4xy at arrl.net or n1ea at arrl.net off the
list.
