Re: are you getting spam from "Ray"

[Tim Faircloth <Tim.Faircloth () GSW EDU>]

I've got nothing here.  I would suggest blacklisting the email address (or possibly the domain).

You might be able to take some legal action if you can link the spam to a specific person, but it's probably more 
trouble than it's worth.

We use a pair of Ironport M1050s to block approximately 95% of incoming email.  Reporting Ray's messages as spam to 
Ironport.com does not seem to help, which leads me to believe he's a local problem in spite of his Bronxville PO Box.  
Much of his spam is generic advocacy of some social/political/cultural issue, but the latest one (while about a general 
s/p/c issue) included observations specific to our town.

No, I haven't seen anything from "Ray."  Do you guys do any email filtering?  Hosted or on premise?

Subject: [SECURITY] are you getting spam from "Ray"

We have been getting spammed lately by Ray () stopsclimatechange org.  The topic of his spam is not always Climate 
Change but ranges over cultural issues and is characterized by capitalizing most everything.  The email host's web site 
shows a PO box in Bronxville for "Ray C", but his latest missive received here mentioned local info about our little 
town.

Is this a "personal" problem for us or does Ray spread his spam more widely?
