Subject: Re: [worldcruising] Spammer on the loose

If you restrict membership, then ask why they want to join, spammers never reply. This group has few enough members that this would be reasonably easy to do. Do we still have the list owner with us? I would volunteer to be co-moderator to help with the work.

The message below is from a spammer who is busily attacking Yahoo
groups.
Not sure who the list owner is but here's a suggestion.
The post from rttrjuales382@XXX.XXX below is just an example of the
work of this spammer. There was a similar post with a different address
a couple of days back. The spammer subscribes to groups then posts to
the membership. If you get a message saying someone is trying to
subscribe to worldcruising with an email address xxxxxnnn@XXX.XXX (3
digits on the end) then the chances are it's the spammer and you should
reject the subscription or ban the email address.
In any event it's not a bad idea to set the membership settings so that
the owner/moderator checks the first post made by any new member so as
to avoid spam mail entering your yahoo group.
