SPAM: Unsolicited or Bulk Commercial Email Seeing as it was sent to mailing list we all subscribe to it doesn't match this definition. HOWEVER I am sure there are rule governing how far off-topic posts can be and this most likely falls way outside. Therefore although not spam it was off-topic and should not have been sent to this list. Just my fourpence as I happen to do a lot of work for our AUP Team and spam is the bane of my life :) Kind regards, Julian On Sun, 2003-05-04 at 15:38, Mark McRitchie wrote: > On Sun, 4 May 2003, Ray Smith wrote: > > > My definition of spam would be advertising unwanted services or products that > > are unasked for to untargeted people, i.e. harvested from newsgroups etc and > > added to a mass market list. > > Spam = unwanted email. > > > As I have seen similar posts in this group before to test setting up of > > ipchains etc with older kernels I see no harm in my previous post. > > Not trying to specifically get at you, just at anybody who feels the need > to use a mailing list as a test email address.
