I'm not getting anything outside the cha egroup postings that seems suspicious, but what's with the ads at the bottom of all the emails? Sorry if i am so new to that i'm not aware of where these ads originate and why? Of course, i get them in other emails, too. ann <herb-t cha Monday, May 15, 2000 2:31 PM spam >If anyone has been receiving spam associated with this list, please let >me know.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 Well i'm sorry I joined this group. I thought this was a group involved in Chinese medicine, but it seems to be all about spam and nothing else. Please take me off the list. Wade De Loe --- Al Stone <alstone wrote: > Is this spam?

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 If you can take a few extra seconds to report them to spamcop.net, they inturn will info the ISP. The usual action is that the ISP will immediately close the offender's account. Be sure to send the header. If you know how to parse the header yourself you can contact the ISP, too. I find Spamcop much faster. Kit At 11:57 AM 12/17/01 -0700, you wrote: Spam has become an increasing problem. Readers may want to check their mail program and block unwanted mail.

The amount of spam I have been getting has gone well beyond intolerable to the point where by the time I got through going through the spam and just deleting it, this left little energy or time for researching TCM topics. Blocking wasn't much help until I discovered the ability to block domains and not just individual addresses. I'm still getting some spam, but it's down a lot from what it was. I definitely will be using spamcop.net for the few that get through. Thanks, Victoria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Hi Judy, One of the problems with having your email listed anywhere on the net is that someone, somewhere is going to highjack your email address and use it as a " reply to " address to fool the uninitiated who recieve the spam. I get error messages daily from those who've used my address(es) for spamming. Just between you and I, the overall bulk of these error messages is not that great, certainly not as much as the spam that my addresses generate. So, I just add these bounce reports to my morning delete. ; ) Even when people take the spam with your name on it and report it to spamcop, anti-spam programs are smart enough to recognize where the mail really comes from. I have not once recieved a warning from my ISP or my webserver company due to someone spamming with my address. I don't like it, but I figure that at least, people are finding out about my websites. ha ha. The only way that I can think of to get on top of this problem is to remove your email address from all articles that are accessable to the public. I don't know how many spammers are getting addresses from the site but if you need some help in getting your ariticles removed from acupuncture.com, I can perhaps help you with that. I'm no longer in the driver's seat over there and they can be a little stubborn with making changes at the request of authors, but I feel personally responsible for your content at acupuncture.com and I know of ways to encourage them to remove your articles if necessary. -al.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Thanks, Al. >Just between you and I, the overall bulk of these error messages is not >that great, certainly not as much as the spam that my addresses >generate. So, I just add these bounce reports to my morning delete. ; ) It's the first time it's ever happened to me. I let the first one go - other than reporting it to hotmail and aol, but the second got me concerned. >Even when people take the spam with your name on it and report it to >spamcop, anti-spam programs are smart enough to recognize where the mail >really comes from. I have not once recieved a warning from my ISP or my >webserver company due to someone spamming with my address. This was a concern of mine. Also, that someone using my address for their crass advertising and spamming might turn someone off to learning about TCM. The spam seems to be targeting people with an interest in alternative medicine - judging by the handles of the recepients. >The only way that I can think of to get on top of this problem is to >remove your email address from all articles that are accessable to the >public. I started Chinese Traditional Medicine and write articles because I know what it's like to need help and not be aware that there is something that can help. So removing my email address and articles are not an option. However, I am always on the lookout for better security. For a while, I was asking applicants to Chinese Traditional Medicine to tell me how or why they're interested in TCM. This was a filter to keep out persons who come on lists just to gather email addresses for spamming. When we moved and I was without a computer for long periods of time, I stopped doing this as the people applying for membership already had had to wait for sometime. Your replying and letting me know you've been through it helps. Also, that I'm not about to lose my internet connection because of a spammer. Thanks. BTW, I now live in a state where spamming and identify theft are taken seriously, and I have contacted the attorney general.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2002 Report Share Posted September 21, 2002 Not sure if they are still in business....but I used to use Spamcop.net. A great service that would parse the header for you and send a form letter to the ISP involved. The reply would come back to me and it usually was to inform me that the account involved had been closed. Of course, they will merely open another account and start all over!!! At least, they are foiled at one turn!

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2002 Report Share Posted September 21, 2002 IF you can get a copy of one of the pieces of spam,it is possible to track down the offender's Internet Service Provider through the Header in the email. Most ISPs aren't very tolerant of spammers, and will try to assist you in any way possible. Hope this helps, Mbanu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Let me remind everyone that this group is not open to the public. All people wishing to join the group have to first request then submit an introductory message to myself, in which they state their qualifications in TCM and their intend on joining the group. Only after i have received this information are they allowed into the group, pure and simply. Quite a large majority don't bother sending the intro message to myself and therefore don't get in. So the chances of a spammer gaining access and promoting their products is extremely slim. May i also remind people, that it is the job of myself and Marco to check messages and spot spammers, flaming, swearing, etc. If people feel another member is not abiding by the rules of the group then they should inform either myself or Marco of the fact. This includes people emailing others off list to complain that they didn't cut out text when replying, (i.e. replying to a daily digest). Many members, like myself, are new to technology, and with things moving so fast, its difficult for many to keep up. This includes the use of the internet and participating in discussions groups like this. Let's all try and make allowances for others, especially since Christmas is just around the corner. I hope this sets the record straight and provides all with the necessary guidelines to continue in discussions within this group.
