Hi
Someone has been forging googles group members and spamming
various groups. I had such a spam on the canon cat group.
It was from one of the members that has otherwise been
well behaved.
As a moderator, I had the option to mark it as spam and
that would ban the member. I almost did this before I recognized
the name of the sender.
This same thing may have happened to you. The moderator
saw a spam and simply pressed the spam button without
checking the members status, otherwise.
I chose to just delete the email.
That's what I originally thought, but I sent two or three "..why?"
messages to the posting address (where presumably the moderator would see
them whether or not I was a member) and the same number to the personal
gmail address of the purported list owner.
No response.
