No use asking someone to stop. Why don't we blacklist those domains
(*.yaariinvites.com) in our mail servers?
Now that's a good idea...
cant do that; this mail server serves other users, including lots of clueless
users who join and invite others to yaari etc etc. it is to be noted that the
mail comes with a from address of the user who is 'inviting' us to yaari. and,
these invites just keep coming. the only way is to throw those id's out of the
list and ban them from re-subscribing. interested users can always get
themselves a new id and subscribe that - thats the price they pay for spamming
the list. i am tempted to do this unilaterally, but i would like the group
opinion on this.
any user spamming the list with invites from yaari / hi-5 whatever shall be
immediately unsubscribed and also banned from subscribing in future - yes / no
if you would like to give your opinion in confidence (private mail to me)
thats fine too.
