[Elecraft] Junk mail from elecraft...

[Raymond METZGER]

Hi John and all Elecrafters,

I receive the Reflector messages in the Digest form : 1 to 3 messages daily
from the mail address elecraft at mailman dot qth dot net. If I remember
well 
(since I have deleted those messages, and I apologize if I'm wrong), the
spam 
messages you referred to are effectively contained in the Volume 85 Issue 50
Digest : 
messages nber 10 and 45 without subject and coming apparently from Russel 
Bouttel. See the hereinafter extract from the summary of this Digest.

This may help analysing the origin of these spamms.
