Hi all

Apologies as co-owner of the list for the rude e-mail sent by a Massimo
Fubini in a rather sharp reply to the rogue advert e--mail on travel agency.
Below is his apology - apparently whilst he replied in a forthright manner
personally it was then redirected out to many lists.

I have contacted Jiscmail to ask them what is happening to our list. The
list should be set to "private" which means only those subscribing to the
list can send messages to it. This of course does not prevent someone
joining the list in order to send an message to annoy those on the list and
then unsubscribing immediately afterwards. It would appear that this is not
preventing unwanted mail from getting through. Please rest assured I am
doing all I can to try to prevent a repeat of this event. Please hang on in
there.

thanks
marcus

Subject: Rude E-mail


Hello,
Yesterday  I  received  an  E-mail  from  a mailing list about freebsd
advertising  a  web  site. I _personally_ replied in a rude way to the
sender  of  the  e-mail,  and  _he_  forwarded  all  my  e-mail to the
freebsd-isp list, and to a lot of other address (I think more that 200
address  from  the  number  of  replay  I got, with some other mailing
list). My email had the subject : "Re: Urgent: Please Read".

So,  I'm sorry you received that rude e-mail from my mail address, but
I  have  never  sent it to you. I have nothing with you, I'm sorry you
received this E-Mail from my address, but it is a FALSE.

If you don't trust me look at the header of the e-mail. It is probably
coming from the IP address: 209.239.40.154, and my ISP (mclink.it) has
not address in this range.

Please,  if  my  e-mail  was  forwarded  to a mailing list, forward my
excuse e-mail to that list.

Best Regards, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Massimo

PS
Could  you  please  tell  me  how  you  received my previous e-mail to
understand to how many person it was sent.
