It might not be spam: 'SpamSlam' is a legitimate spam filter for windows and Mac OSX. http://www.ilesa.com/ Even so, list members should NOT reply, it only generates a new message to the list and does not validate the list mailing address to the program. The owner of the email address <fmindlin at santacruz.k12.ca.us> should configure the program so it will accept mail from any mailing list they are on. This will avoid auto-generated validation emails to all members of lists. blu At 9:44 AM -0500 1/2/04, keifel agostini wrote: >i believe the list has been spammed. there is no need to reply to >this message. --
