<DIV><SPAN class=515352623-06042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear
DCRB-Lers,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=515352623-06042004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=515352623-06042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Over the last couple
of months DCRB-L has been innundated with spam--I don't know how the spammers
got the address but the list is getting up to 25 spam messages per day, all of
which I have to delete so they don't go on to you all. Since I'm getting a
little sick of this, we've decided to change the list name and address in the
hopes that the spam will go away, at least temporarily. So here's the
scoop:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=515352623-06042004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=515352623-06042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) The new list is
called DCRM-L. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=515352623-06042004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=515352623-06042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) We have
transferred everyone's address and other information to the new list, so you
don't need to do anything.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=515352623-06042004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=515352623-06042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) I am sending this
message to both lists, so you should receive TWO identical messages, one from
DCRB-L and one from DCRM-L. If you do not get two messages, wait a day in case
something went wrong with the whole list that we need to fix, in which case
I'll send out another message. But if that doesn't happen, please let me
know.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=515352623-06042004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=515352623-06042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>4) Henceforth
messages should be sent to the new list. The address is <A
href="mailto:dcrm-l@lib.byu.edu">dcrm-l@lib.byu.edu</A>. The old address will be
deactivated after we make sure the new one is working.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=515352623-06042004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=515352623-06042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>5) The archives have
been transferred, so there should be no disruption. The new address of the
archives is: <A href="http://mailman.lib.byu.edu/pipermail/dcrm-l/"><FONT
face=Tahoma>http://mailman.lib.byu.edu/pipermail/dcrm-l/</FONT></A> ,
though if you use the old address you will be forwarded to the new
one.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=515352623-06042004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=515352623-06042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>6) If any of you
have the e-mail address of dcrb-l on a web page, please remove it! And if you're
thinking of replacing it with the address of dcrm-l, please don't do it! I
gather one of the ways spammers get addresses is by trawling web pages for
e-mail addresses. (Though perhaps the archives, which do exist on the web, is
where the spammers get the address ... who knows?)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
