I agree wholeheartedly with Joyce ... this isn't rocket surgery ... repetitive S*P*A*M like this (coming through RW) is just so easy to stop - WHY isn't it being done??? I spend a quarter of an hour a day taking care of this stuff, time I could much better spend elsewhere ...

Sent: Jul 29, 2012 11:36 I've gotten a massive amount from admin and request addresses of this same email PLUS a bunch from 'Order" or "RE-order" which I haven't opened the first one of. Frankly Joan I'm getting really sick of the amounts of spam and crappy email we get just because we're list admins. I have seriously considered dropping every one of them just to stop some of it. Rootsweb REALLY needs to do something/anything toward controlling this better.

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. I've written to her telling her to cease and desist from sending this crap or I'd unsub from the lists I admin and ban her from rejoining. I haven't as yet received a reply but since I'm getting this at a vast number of my admin addresses I have to assume that other admins are also getting it. I've notified listmaster in case he feels other action is needed -- my main reason for posting to listowners-L is that this mail had me puzzled at first as to who this "Kelly" was because the first onslaught of the hate mail came to my PRIVATE email address. It wasn't until this morning that the mail started also hitting many of my admin addresses that it dawned on me the connection was that she subbed to the lists.
