Ever since I subscribed to the list, I started to get spam. Which is strange, this email accounts gets (a) staff email, (b) nanog email. So a bit of snooping showed me that anyone can send the "who nanog" (or "which nanog", I cant remember which one, I just sent both :-) command to nanog () merit edu and lo and behold, the subscriber list came back. So I'm asking the list admins to please disable the command, so spammers can't just grab a user list.. and also, for people who run large email lists, to consider doing the same.
Making things worse, nanog () merit edu is still open for anybody to post to, even if you're not subscribed. Many complaints have been registered with the listowners, but for some reason they've all been ignored. ********************************************************* J.D.
