Subject: [IBIS-Users] 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.
