I found a guy local that has a PERQ system for sale. Not much interest in
it for me but thought one of you guys might be into it. He wants $200.

Is anyone else getting "spam" messages through this list? Stuff about stocks
& viagra mostly?
I seem to be getting 2-3/day, but I'm not sure if it's a general thing or
not...
Replies off-list would be preferred.
Cheers,
Ade.

Are you sure that it is THROUGH the list, not simply your address
harvested from a list message?
I get plenty of that spam, but none of it coming THROUGH the list.
The Comdex management sold their email list to spammers.

...who then sold it to other spammers, and so on. When I look at some
spam, I'm amazed to see on the cc: list email addresses that haven't been
active for 4 or 5 years. When I subscribe to newsgroups or lists, I invent
a new email address for each. That way, if the spammers discover it, I can
simply delete it and create another.

In June 1994 I set up my first domain and used it as an internet gateway to the VirtualNet
BBS network runing the
VBBS Software, in 1996 I shut down the VBBS BBS and switched to IMS under NT3.5 at that
time I "killed off all
but a few of the origional email accounts and changed direction. It is now 10 years latter
and I reject more spam
addresses to long gone yet timeless addresses, than the entire mail load when it was
running af full load. These
accounts have been blackholed for a little over 10 years, yet remain on many lists.
Then there are the kids, I can assure you there has never been a batman at cave.com or bat
or dragon on any one
of a number of such addresses. I have had cave.com since the begining, back when domain
names were still
free, but alas mail still comes in addressed to kids who have forged those address in the
past.
There is good reason I trash most mail to bob at cave.com it gets hundreds of spams a day,
yet every once in so
often someone from the past emails me there and it makes it through the filters.
There are several spam engines sending what looks like cctalk addressed spam. I got some
to an old email
address I have posted to the list from in the past, and yet the same spam did not come
through the list to the
address I am currently subscribed from, and have posted little to nothing from.
just my thoughts ...

I found a guy local that has a PERQ system for sale. Not much interest in
Where is 'local'[1]? This is an international list with members in many
countries!. And even if I assume it's in the States, I am told that's a
very big country.
it for me but thought one of you guys might be into
it. He wants $200.
If it's a complete and repairable (not necessarily working) machine, then
I think that's a fair price.
[1] Reminds me of a 'definition' i heard years ago. If a service manual
says that a special tool is available 'locally' then it's either a
misprint for 'luckily' or the name of an obscure village in Wales :-)
