For the folks running the listservs - what's our current procedure for deleting members of the mailing list sending intentionally offensive content?

Mark, you've got another one to ban, under the name "john re", email address giovanni-re(a)yandex.com But please don't "inform him of the ban and (give him) a point of contact for further inquiries." People who send out that shit are troglodytes who deserve no more consideration than bots. And you can be sure that your "point of contact" address is going to get added to their list for another metric shit-ton of shit. Some of the items on that spam list may be child porn, in which case it would be appropriate to get the full incoming email headers on "john re" and forward them to the FBI, ASAP. Child porn goes to the top of the stack with FBI agents, just like hostage emergencies, because the kids who are being used in it are effectively hostages being tortured. Don't anyone click any of those links in the spam. Some of them are almost certainly malware, and if any of them are child porn, merely having it stuck in some random cache in your browser is felony possession under law. The way to bust child exploiters is not to watch the stuff first to see if it qualifies, but to just send the links to the feds and let them deal with it. Think "radioactive waste spill:" don't touch it, just report it and let the experts in nuke suits clean it up. -G.

I would have guessed that that *is* a spam bot. WRT spoofing addresses, it's a good reminder to PGP sign emails.

In that situation I think you'd want to contact the owner of the email address to inform them of the ban so that they might know that someone had been spoofing their email address to send spam.

How often do such shenanagains happen at the Sudo Room and its associated fora?
