Greetings: I just got a message which made it to the VERMONT list, as confirmed in the archives, that consists only of a presumably malicious link (no, I didn't check it out!) and the RW added footer. The From address -- gstove9999 at aol dot com -- is not (now?) subscribed to the list. I know how to request removal, and am going to proceed to do exactly that. However, as much from curiosity as anything, does anyone have an idea whether the subscriber was removed by RW? Does this mean the message might be removed by them even if I did not request removal? Darrell

If you are list admin of the list in question, you do the ultimate step - unsubscribe that subscriber. As for message removal, send via archival remover and send msg to listmaster@rootsweb.com for removal. Right now many lists are under attack from HACKED, not hijacked aol.com accounts TODAY. I counted at least 20 this morning alone. One already hit three times same lists. I can tell the difference - due to sheer number of Cc being attacked, and several actually have names.

Darrell, No, not unless correctly reported or if RW becomes aware of it by some means. I have "properly reported" it this morning though, so it should come out of the archives and appropriate action be taken on the subscribed account soon, but that doesn't prevent someone else from reporting it as well or the Admin on the list doing something.
