Joan, et al, I have received only 9 of these so far today, but although every one of them purports to be from KellyJack1776@Yahoo.com every single one has a different individuals name in the from line of the full headers. They have all come to my admin addresses although several must be blind cc'd. None seem to be subb'ed to my lists. All of those that came to me are definitely coming thru RW. My delete key is getting a good workout! Sharon Dulcich In a message dated 7/29/2012 9:16:45 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, JYoung6180@aol.com writes: ...from a list subscriber to many of my lists. I don't know if any of the rest of you have received the blistering hate mail (both political and anti-Islam religious garbage) from a gal named "Kelly" who apparently subs to MANY RootsWeb lists and has the admin addresses (and my private email address) in her address book and then sends out a ton of these hate messages to everyone in her address book.

Looks to me that someone has nothing better to do this weekend so they somehow gathered all of the Administrator email addresses and the Request subscribe addresses and started spamming all of us. The emails are not coming through with any single individuals name, while they mostly seem to say "kellyjack1776..." the names attached to that supposed address are all different. It could be that someone has found a new way of launching spam and bypassing the actual mailing lists.

just blacklist kellyjack1776@Yahoo.com if you have Mailwasher to work side by side. I had no problem flushing this one out into blacklist. It is a spammer. No honest person can pull it off. I got all 20 lists and it is repeating. So far, none got to the list because every one had -admin". W.
