Re: Spiders and the Derwent PIUG archive

I stumbled on this inconsistency when I searched Google for sites that
might be sourcing my email addresses to spiders. (Do this by searching
for your email address on Google.) The old intlscience.com address is
hopeless, but the paterra.com address only recently began receiving
spam. Questel is apparently the source of the leak.

If Majordomo has a setting for removing email address from posts, the
archives can be opened without sacrificing spam protection.

Dear PIUG-L subscribers

 

Originally I replied off list to Alan, Elvin and Tracy .

 

However, I will publicly cast my vote to keep blocking spiders from the
PIUG archives. The only place my business email address appears is on
the PIUG Web page and in the PIUG-L archives. As a result I have
received unwanted, unsolicited emails including the scams from Africa .

 

My preference is to use my business email for professional/job related
activities but if it is going to result in undesirable emails, then I
will either remove my email address from such listings or set up a
separate 'hotmail' account for those activities.
