[Gllug] PLEASE- RESPOND

[Steve Cobrin]

please folk, don't respond to SPAM messages, and copy the rest of us.
All it does is confirm that gllug at linux.co.uk is a valid mailing list. 
The mailing list does have spam-filters installed, but sometimes things 
get through, sorry.

Chris, its unlikely that you'll ever get people to punish the spammers, 
if you give the ISP so little information to go on. You'd need to copy 
them the full headers, at the very least. and also include the alleged 
email of the sender i.e. desmondstevens27 at netscape.net
but I suspect you won't get far. Actually looking at the headers, there 
isn't much to go on

a whois on the ip-address gives more useful information in this case, 
but I suspect its yet another open-relay
