We seem to be getting quite a bit of spam on our list lately
Check the full header. If it contains the line Received: from adele.gerwinski.de (adele.gerwinski.de [217.69.76.193]) then it came via the gpc mailing list.
Is it possible for somebody to remove this junk and perhaps bar the culprits from posting more junk?
Send a complaint to the originating ISP: subject: mail abuse. In the body a one line complaint will do followed by the full header of the offending email and at least a part of the body of the offending email so the ISP will know what the cmmplaint is about. No attachments: some ISP's will auto-reject mail containing attachments. You can get a valid email address from "whois".
Most ISP's will take quick action to block the account of the offenders.
Hope this helps Russ
