David, OMG, I thought it was me perhaps not remembering or something. I've had that very same email address subscribe to several of my lists, and then it would get unsubbed later that same day, or in a relatively short period of time. On several occasions, the address re-subs to the same list that he's just unsubbed from, and I was thinking at first, well maybe this person had been unsubbed by RW because they do that when an address has been spamming the lists. I've got surnames and county lists that it's been happening to, but it seems far too strange that this person would be doing that. I put the address on moderation, though, to see if anything is being posted by it, but so far, all I'm seeing is a lot of subbing and unsubbing on several lists.

I asked Gerhard about him months ago when he subed to about two dozen in a week. Right now he is at over 200 of mine. Gerhard said as long as he did not break any rules we had to sub him. I ever emailed him and offered to sub him to the rest of my lists. I am still getting 4 or 5 a week.

Paranoid? You can moderate until he posts but that may not happen. You could ask your list members to post new queries to see if he responds or otherwise contributes something new to your lists. But why look for a boogeyman when he may be interested but likes to just read posts. I am on lists that I rarely post to but that doesn't make me a would be spammer. You can also post some interesting material and see if it jump starts your lists and also make a special note asking new subscribers to post something.

I may be over-reacting but I'd rather err on the side of caution: Over the last month I have had several subscriber requests from tyronealcon@gmail.com (Tyrone Alcon) to unrelated and diverse surname lists. They have occurred one at a time and rarely on the same day. Unless this individual has a rather unusual family tree or is a long-lost cousin, I doubt someone would have interest in the surname lists he's been requesting subscription. I have also done a search and found his name "welcomed" by at least three other list administrators. Perhaps I'm thinking the worst of people but after a couple of these subscription requests, I put him on moderation. I encourage other list administrators to take the same defensive action for this individual (and any other suspicious new subscribers) until it can be confirmed Mr Alcon is legitimate. So far, he has not posted anything on my lists but I fear he may be setting himself up as a spammer. I don't recall anything quite like this happening in the twenty years I have been a Rootsweb surname list administrator. It is better to be cautious than to have to deal with a mess!

What do the bounce notifications tell you? There should be a reason given in each one. Is your list really quiet, but has had a few posts just recently? If that's the case, then it's likely these addresses have "gone bad" in some way, and the recent posts have triggered the bounce score to reach the threashold set for your list. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Carol Bickel said the following on 28/06/2013 8:57 a.m.: > > I am a listowner and today I received over 70 bounced notifications that list members had been unsubscribed from my list.

He described the Bush legacy as "unfinished."It takes a long time for documents, for oral history interviews, particularly classified documents, to emerge," Knott said. "And then you get a fuller, more complete picture of a presidency.Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley said he wasn't surprised by Bush's rising approval rating.We pummel presidents when theyre in the White House," said Brinkley, whose 2007 book "The Great Deluge" was critical of Bush's handling of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. "We give them a hard time. Then they leave and they write a memoir that becomes an instant bestseller. Journalists ask softball questions, and then they open up a presidential library. And people forgive a lot of the mistakes and say, Hey, he brought our country through some tough times.'"The toughest time for Americans during Bush's presidency was Sept. 11, 2001, when Al Qaeda hijacked and crashed four airplanes, killing nearly 3,000 Americ

There was a discussion of this a few days ago on this list. The spammers latest ploy is to send emails directly to the Rootsweb Bounce addresses for each list. This is similar to what they did a few weeks ago when they were sending emails directly to the Request addresses for many lists. Nothing gets through to the lists. They'll get tired of it soon, but in the meanwhile, the thing to do is to just delete the notifications.

I can't see how Rootsweb could stop spam but not genuine mails to the admin address if the spam doesn't use certain trigger words unless there's something in the subject line that's being used to stop them for what could be seen as an "abuse" of the admin address. It's easy enough to get a disposable address (Gmail or Hotmail, both of which are free and can be used with an email client) specifically for the ballots. All four addresses associated with a list are being used by the spammers. Whilst there's money to be made out of spoiling others use of the net, we'll carry on being plagued with the rubbish. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk

What I'm seeing is that the same old spammers ("Stop right now and look right at it!...") are just stupidly sending multiple messages to the Bounce addresses for the lists. It seems those are the latest addresses they have aimed their spam to, just like a few weeks ago where it was to all of the List Request addresses, which got them nowhere. Probably about the only thing to do is to ignore those since they're not getting to the actual lists anyway.

If by "list Admin" you mean mail sent to the [listname]-admin@rootsweb address, no, it's not being flagged or held up as spam, at least not mail from a non-spammy sender. I just tried it, using an email address of mine which is not my admin address. It came through with no problem.

I believe that anything addressed to the list Admin directly is now considered Spam. In past years I have had ballots for an association that sponsors the list sent to the admin address (didn't want to use a personal address) and they came through just fine. But, recently the admin addresses seem to have been employed by some spammers and I guess that now the 'admin' address is being reserved for use by the system only and others using it are considered spam.

My Cummins surname list has long been a frequent target of spammers, with Mailman catching perhaps half a dozen on a bad day, while others have moderate amounts or almost none. But in the last few weeks, Cummins has gone through the roof, sometimes catching several score in a day. Apparently the spammers just keep sharing the same addresses with each other, and someone new has no sense of scale. Since I only allow subscribers to send to the list, I just glance at the subjects of the others before flagging them as spam, and click on "Discard all messages marked Defer", but the flagging step has certainly been getting tiresome.

Good reason, Rootsweb disconnected from sorbs.net because it was blocking legitmate listadmins including me. I prefer this with "uncaught" ones, easy to hit delete button and move on. Bluehost/Hostmaster, host of many genealogy websites, investigated and gave me information - three of spam filters used by sorbs.net are notorious unreliable and uncooperative, two of them require "blackmail" $ to get off their blacklists.
