    1. [IRL-LIMERICK] yesterday's emails

    3. Hi all, I am very sorry about those spam emails posting to the list looking like they came from me. They didn't! When I was on Facebook, my Address Book was hijacked and every few months the spammer sends out emails looking like they came from me. If by chance it happens again, check the bottom of the email and see if my signature is on it: Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com This is automatically attached by my computer whenever I send out an email. That is how I have set up my various email programs. Yesterday, I spent most of my day, unsubscribing from all the list using my pacbell email address (nymets11) and resubbing with my gmail email address (nymets22). You can reach me at both. I am still using the pacbell mail but did not want to have anymore of those spam emails going to the lists. Again, I am very sorry about any trouble this may have caused you. If you have any questions, you can email me off the list. Oh, forgot something, I would have unsubbed from the lists after the first posting in April 2010 but didn't realize they would keep doing it. Seems like they wait about six months and then send out the spam again. Also, note how sneaky they are getting. When these first (not just those with my address but all the ones we have seen posted to the various lists) started coming, they had no subject and the various spam filters, including Rootswebs, stopped posting messages without subjects, well, they they are adding subject to get around the filters. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
