Yup. for *every* message I post, in fact. Tiresome.

I just wrote him, at both his personal address, _and_ the listserv '-request'
address, with a request for a *complete* shutdown of the the mailing-list,
because there is no valid traffic on it. the only outgoing traffic from
it for the last year-plus is spam, and all inbound traffic _from_
'rec.woodworking' is blocked. thus there is obviously no purpose served
by continuing to operate the list.

I'm with you Robert! Off with its head!

Email to '[email protected]' may be of some help. That appears to have
succeeded in stopping the spam posts that were coming through the listserv,
anyway.

I got an email from them (or someone forging their address) stating
that I'm not authorized to post messages to WOODWORK-L from the email
address I'm using. I assume that this message will generate a similar
message. My guess is they've just discovered a bug that needs tending
to.

Cheers,
