Re: arsclist Auto-responder SPAM to the ARSC list...

When problems like this surface, there is a simple way to treat it without difficulty and irritation if you are using Outlook or outlook express mail reader.  Highlight the message, go to the menu bar, click on Message and click Block Sender.  This can later be unblocked when the situation warrants.

Subject: arsclist Auto-responder SPAM to the ARSC list...


| 
| I don't know about the rest of the listmembers, but I would like to nominate 
| 
| 
| Donna Sereda <djsereda@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
| 
| For her "ad nauseum" repeating message, namely:
| 
| "I'm away from the office until June 17 and will reply to your message at that
| time."
| 
| 
| as the most inconsiderate person on the list for this year.  I'm sure there
| couldn't be anyone to top her performance for the balance of the year, so let's
| get this over with NOW.
| 
| In placing her mailbox on AUTO-RESPOND, she created a mail loop, much like a
| dog chasing its' tail, and it produced an auto-response for EVERY mail to the
| list that the list sent out, as well as another for each of the auto responses
| that her "idiot box" sent back to the list!  All of these got sent to EVERYONE
| on the ARSC list.
| 
| Do I sound annoyed?
| 
| YOU BET I AM.
| 
| I spent time, that could just as well be spent on other more worthy projects,
| to find and contact the appropriate responsible people at the ISP of this
| person (wisc.edu), and to get them to shut off the flow of SPAM from her
| computer.  Without it, we all would have been deluged by this !@!@!#%$%^ until
| June 17th!
| 
| Congratulations Donna, you are a winner.  We're having a bronze plaque engraved
| as I write this.
|
