[clug] Spam on list (was Re: Photo management?)

[Bob Edwards]

Yay! I'm getting the spam now - I wonder if it is being triggered by
the word "Photo" in the subject?

I wonder if someone on the list (possibly long gone) has some sort of
auto-responder set up to spam anyone sending them anything about photos?

cheers,

Bob Edwards.
