Charani: Only one post from this address in 2010-2012, and that was the one that got the sender moderated. The headers appear to be normal, but that doesn't prove the gmail address wasn't hijacked. My best guess is that this person is new to the spam game, and actually thinks that what she? did was OK -- or at least worth a try. That's not an excuse from my point of view, of course, but I did send a brief message explaining what it meant to be moderated and (politely but impersonally) threatening the cyber equivalent of fire and brimstone if a repeat was attempted. My other Vermont lists do not have this address subscribed. Looks like a one off. We'll see. Darrell
