[Post deleted about auto-reply to one's system adminstrator if (s)he posts on alt.2600 by Black Unicorn]
FWIW, the person doing that crud on Netcom has had his/her account yanked permanently.
Well, actually, it has begun again. Apparently either it is being done with cracked accounts, or someone is distributing the script around, since the original messages came from pbergman@netcom.com, while the latest batch (I got 3 this morning), came from a different netcom user. (Apologies for not having a name, I misplaced the posts.) It's safe to say that this second wave is just an "annoyance" one, as one of the people listed in the headers of the mail is emmanuel@well.sf.ca.us, the editor of 2600. Thus, I think this is more for harassment of him than for any kind of serious attempt to have peoples' accounts rifled. ObCrypto: How long until someone decides that anyone who posts to alt.security.pgp is obviously a spy/kiddie porn collector/secretive serial killer/UNABOMer/etc., and takes it upon themselves to notify half a dozen people of such?
