David & List, Something is very suspect with this Patricia Wartell. I put the list to require approval for subscribing. Then put her address on ban list since she was suspect by several & saved changes. When I go out of tools back to my acct page back to specific list her address is no longer in the ban list. How can that be? The one for content-type is still listed there.

Yes, Tom, You are a pushover. For example, He has taken some of the work that I put on Rootsweb on my list and included it on his site with no indication of the source, except that Rootsweb shows. He is somewhat like the guy who copies your paper in school without your knowledge. He then sells the site to advertisers and makes money off our work. It's shameful. Not your usual spammer, but in a way far worse.

About a month ago, several of my lists were hit badly by spammers, one right after another. I finally put all of my major lists on moderation. And even though it's extra work for me, I'm glad I did because just as I was thinking about removing the moderation on a couple of them, there's another bunch of spam that's being sent, but luckily, it's not reaching the lists. There's something about holidays that seem to be setting off these lunatics, they must have really crappy lives.

All Irish list were spammed by a Shawn Doyle. Not sure if that is even his name. I moderated him on most of my Irish lists, but he still got through on a couple. I suggest banning him if you see him appear. shawndoyle71@gmail.com The email suggested a links site which is file with ads. He has linked to individual pages without stating what organization the sites are a part of. I see this link page included all counties, not just the U.S. On his U.S. page he shows a small icon for Cyndis List but no link and he is certainly nothing to do with her. https://sites.google.com/site/freeirishancestry/home Christina

Who do I contact the change the wording on a RW list? Thanks, Christina

I have been on AIM since 2005 only problems was when Sorbs was blocking rootsweb. I was admin of over 100 lists using AIM.com -----Original Message----- From: Robert Burns Christina, Sorbs wouldnt be blocking mail going to the Rottsweb list but it would coming from Rootsweb. Do you have anyone else on list with a tesco email address having the same problem? Is she contacting you via the list admin address or your personal address? If the former then there is no problem with the mail going through the list server. My own email address was causing problems with non delivery to a few lists I am on and it turned out because I subbed when I had a full aol account my email address on the server was aol.com yet now i am using it via aim it comes through as.net or as aim.com so I had to resub even though I was receiving mail from the .com address. Could this be the problem here? Rob

Christina, I have just had a look at Tesco.net and it seems they have updated their email software and provided their customers with their own anti virus and firewall software. Ask your lister if they have seen http://www.tescosoftware.com/internetsecfaqs.php in particular number 23.
