5th Grade Class

[richard guthart]

I'll be happy to send the class an email so that they can place a pin on their
map in the Denver area.

I vacationed on Prince Edward Island last fall and would like to explore more of
the beautiful Maritime Provinces.

blocking du to overwhelming hits.

I just sent an email to this group and the address is blocked due to
overloading the system. Save it.

If anyone wanted to cause a problem... that was a classic primer on how
to really clog things up for someone's email-account...POP Server...ISP.
I fell for it...Wonder how long that will stay clogged? I mean, I know
it was not just us...

I noticed this morning that the school's ISP domain "glinx.com" has been
placed on the 'black hole list' (not the GMC support black list) as a yellow
alert potential SPAM e-mail address collector.

The admins at the black hole list are a zealous lot, so it may be just a
case of precaution. Smaller and mid-sized ISP's use the BHL to reduce the
effects of spam.

In any event, I hope this *is* just a class project, not some unscrupulous
spammer's attempt to harvest e-mail addresses. I forwarded an inquiry to the
ISP, and also advised them that messages were being blocked. I'll let you
know if I hear anything from the ISP.

PS - SPAM is the slang term for unsolicited commercial e-mail, usually
advertising pornographic web sites.

Well they didn't get my email either. This is what I got a few minutes ago:

Be weary of chain mail that asks for a reply. This is one of the ways
spammers collect "live" e-mail addresses. A known live address is a
valuable commodity in the world of spam. It is usually sold to other spammers.

The main reason I am skeptical about this message is the address is a
commercial site. Most school addresses end in ".edu"
