Subject: [IBIS] List posting now closed to non-members

Hello,
Due to the recent surge in spam and virus related emails, posting to the
IBIS
lists is now restricted to list members. This has already stopped some
inappropriate mail to the lists.
Be aware that the following posts to the IBIS lists on 3/20/02 contained a
virus:
From: "nutwooduk" <nutwooduk@emc-journal.co.uk>
To: <ibis@vhdl.org>
Subject: [IBIS] Have a excite Lady Day
Date: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 1:46 AM
From: "QA_Engr4" <QA_Engr4@wuspc.com>
To: <ibis-users@vhdl.org>

The other unwanted traffic on 3/20 consisted of automated warnings about
this
threat from the service providers of several list members.
Under the new restricted posting policy, if you send email to the list,
remember to use the exact address with which you subscribed. Otherwise, the
list administration software will not allow the post. It will forward the
email to me as a non-member attempt to post. In this event, I will send the
email to the list myself and notify you of the problem. Domain
reorganizations within a company frequently lead to unexpected changes in
email addresses, so I will be monitoring this issue carefully.
In the future, if a list member becomes infected with a virus, and either of
the IBIS lists ever becomes overwhelmed by the resulting traffic, we will
temporarily moderate all postings until the problem is resolved.
These policies should keep the lists clean. Thanks for your patience with
yesterday's flurry of unwanted email. Please respond to me directly with
any
feedback.
