I'm getting it too!!! -----Original Message----- From: Sue_Davidson@exe.com.au [mailto:Sue_Davidson@exe.com.au] Sent: Friday, August 20, 1999 12:18 AM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Please help! Hi everyone, All of a sudden I am being emailed a whole heap of crap purporting to be from the informix list! (the last one was about plasma pistols of all things) Have gremlins got into the newsgroup? Is anyone else experiencing this, or is the stuff I'm getting nothing to do with the news group at all? Is this a particularly vile form of spamming? What can I do? Sue

So it appears to a phenomenon limited to the IIUG mailing list -- that might help the list managers resolve it.
