Just a note from your friendly list owner. We have had, over time, many mail lists subscribed to CRIME. There is nothing wrong with this in my opinion. However, some list owners do not ensure that dead accounts and such that are part of their list are removed in a timely fashion. The result is that I get inundated with error messages that are generated from those subscribed lists. Just so that everyone knows, it is my policy NOT to track down the owner of lists that are subscribed to the CRIME list and attempt to get them to correct problems in their list membership. Instead, once the subscribed list becomes a nagging source of problems, I unsubscribe the entire list. The definition is "nagging source of problems" is left fuzzy, but I try to be fair. This is a relatively infrequent problem, but is occurring now, so I thought that I'd let the group know so that those who may be affected can be aware if suddenly their supply of CRIME email is cut off. Also, several people have been bitten by the "my mail address has changed very slightly" problem. CRIME is a closed list, so if you are not posting from a subscribed address, your message will be bounced. I don't check bounced messages often as they are dominantly spam (about 6-10 per day at present are making it through the commercial spam filter that PSU uses). So if your address changes, even "very slightly", let me know so that I can unsub the old address and then you will need to resub to CRIME from your new address. --mark --- Mark Morrissey markem@private Lecturer in Computer Science www.cs.pdx.edu/~markem
