>Attention Technet subscribers:

>As some of you have figured out, someone sent a message to Technet, received
>their confirmation request, and RE-SENT their message to Technet with the
>confirmation request on top of it, then CONFIRMED the new message with the
>old confirmation request still on it.

>SO THE ORIGINAL CONFIRMATION REQUEST GOT POSTED TO THE FORUM.  No one is
>sending illegal messages using your email account.  The reason you got a
>request to confirm his email message is because EVERYONE got that message.

>Let me re-explain this for the benifit of anyone still unclear:
>Step 1>  You send your message to [log in to unmask]
>Step 2> [log in to unmask] sends you a confirmation request
>Step 3> Reply to this message. Do not alter the "Subject:" line of the
>message, this contains a code particular to your message, which needs to be
>there for the server to confirm you sent it.  Do not send the reply to
>Technet, it should go to listserv.  By Reply, we mean hit your REPLY button
>(most email softwares have one).  The actual text of the message should only
>be:

>OK


>Not the original message, not the confirmation request, just OK.


>Sorry for the confusion.  I will see what I can do to prevent this from
>happening again.

Really silly way to run a list that adds useless bandwidth waste.
