Subj: SPAM - HOW TO RESPOND
Date: Thu, 7 Sep 1995 10:50:56 -0400

Since we seem to be getting SPAMS on an ongoing basis, I though I'd share
with other members how to respond.

You need to forward the message to the POSTMASTER of the site from which
the spam originated.

If all members of the groups afflicted forward offending messages to the
appropriate POSTMASTER it is likely that the account will be revoked.

For example, a recent spam came from an individual at "CRIS.COM". Just
send (forward) a copy of the note to: POSTMASTER@-----.COM (or whatever
node the note came from, appending a brief explanation of the spam at
the start of the forwarded note.
