Subject: SPAM on Triumph e-mail list, and Truimph newsgroups
This is a little off topic.
I've been on this e-mail list for several years, because I own a TR6, and I
believe the collective group has an amazing amount of Triumph related
knowledge to share. Unfortunately the ratio of my SPAM e-mail to real
e-mail
is getting close to 20-1 in the last few months, and I'm starting to suspect
that this has something to do with being subscribed to the Triumph e-mail
group.
A few questions:
- - Are others on this group experiencing the same thing, or is it just me,
and
I have to find a way to get improved SPAM filtering?
- - If this is a common problem to a majority of the subscribers, has the
group
as a whole ever discussed switching to a newsgroup format? I personally would
welcome this change.
- - Is there an active Triumph related newsgroup? I haven't found one.
Note: I do have some type of SPAM filter turned on by my ISP, but it
obviously
isn't very good, or the SPAM generators are just too good at getting past
these filters.
Thanks in advance for any of your replies.

John:
I have not had any problems with SPAM from the lists that I subscribe to
(triumphs/6-PACK). However, I am currently using the latest AOL highspeed for
my ISP with SPAM, Virus, Firewall, etc. But even before that, using
AdSubtract pro for popups we really didn't have a problem. Just my $.02.
For the triumphs related news group go to _triumphs@autox.team.net_
(mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net)
You have subscribe to the list. I forget how at the moment but I'm sure
that someone on this list can point you in the right direction.
Good luck!
