[MacPerl] Owlsnest spam

[Matthias Ulrich Neeracher <neeri@iis.ee.ethz.ch>]

Dear subscribers,

I apologize for the spam from owl@owlsnest.com. They already hit the GUSI
mailing list a few months ago.

Below, I've included the complaint I've sent to owlsnest's access
providers. It can't hurt if they get a few more (polite but firm) complaints
from you.

If you decide to send a complaint, please make sure that you don't Cc: to the
mailing list. Feel free to Bcc: to me.

I switched the list to moderated for the next few days.

Matthias
PS: This mailing list will move providers within the next few days. You will
    get further information when that happens (You will not need to
    resubscribe).

Dear postmasters,

despite my explicit requests to the contrary, owl@owlsnest.com has sent me four
copies of the mail below, two of them to an 800+ member mailing list I
administrate on which this material is totally off-topic.

This is absolutely inacceptable conduct, and I ask you to immediately terminate
the services you are providing to owlsnest.net (htp.net as domain name and
access provider, fia.net as domain name provider).

Thanks for your efforts
Matthias
