Hello NLRS'ers:

Another list I administer had a "spoof" email sent to that list supposedly
from me.  That email mentioned Amazon.com and security and offered a hotlink
(that you should NOT click on).

I checked my "sent" box and the email did not come from my machines.
Clearly, my email addy has been "harvested" in this big web and was then
spoofed to send to a list on which I, of course, have posting privileges.  

If it happens on this list, first, don't click on any hotlinks.  Next, if it
happens more than once from any member's email addy (including my own), I
will throw that email addy on "moderated" which means that I'll have to
bless any postings.  I won't do it yet until I know we have a problem, but
it IS a response we can do to maintain control of potentially annoying
spoofing.

Thanks for your time and I hope you've had some good VHF action in the
recent openings.  (I read those postings about the openings with slight
jealousy as I was away and couldn't play.)
