All ITU-SG16 Mail List Users:
Please note that the mail list, itu-sg16@mailbag.intel.com, has a new two-step proceedure for sending mail to the list. Here's how it works:
1. Compose your message. 2. Send it to ITU-SG16@MAILBAG.INTEL.COM 3. You will receive a "confirmation" message from LISTSERV@MAILBAG.INTEL.COM 4. Reply to the confirmation message with "OK" (without the quotes) in the body.
OK, that's four steps but only two "sends." Each confirmation message contains the instructions on how to reply.
This procedure will help reduce spam and other unauthorized mail. For security purposes, NO ONE should have any mail list (esp. the ITU-SG16 mail list) in their email address book. Most viruses use the address book information to propogate so we strongly request that you look through your address book and remove this and all other mail lists.
This new procedure will be tried through the month of October. Please let me know (directly) if there's any mail list service that is being prohited or significantly inhibited. I'll be especially intested in long times (>10 minutes) before receiving the confirmation message. Our testing to date shows that listserv responds quickly.
I was strongly(!) motivated to make this change after that last spam ("Excellent Colon Cleanser").
Thanks, Greg Meyer Intel Corporation mailto:greg.w.meyer@intel.com +1.503.264.9506
