can some op filter this asshole?
Please stop forwarding the whole message; I'd already dropped him in my
procmail rules.
*shrug*, it needed a new thread since it ot of the originating thread.
i feel that a maintained list should actively filter spam instead of
expect users to setup their own filters. it's better for the list
archives as well.
I don't think the archives need to be archiving it, and those with
corporate accounts on here may not appreciate explaining it to HR.
Whatever admin that's asleep at the wheel needs to wake up.

I just BCC'd someone, in case they aren't currently paying attention to the list. Seriously, though, this account should have been blocked after the very first message. There's enough traffic on the list without adding this (and all the resulting followups) to it, thanks.
Yahoo? Don't hold your breath. The person appears to have been using the same yahoo account for all the nig nog messages. Why whoever has admin rights to the mailing list hasn't removed/banned/filtered nanog195@yahoo.com is a mystery.
It's the union of mailing list on autopilot with service provider on
autopilot.

We were letting people practice their procmail 
They've both been
filtered.

It's situations like this that make me happy I signed up. I just started
with the list this week, and finding out tools for correcting specific tasks
is outstanding. Finding ones that actually WORK is a bonus.
Thanks for the tip.
"both"? I only noticed one source account?
I'm really surprised that people who subscribe to NANOG don't know any better than to send their complaints TO THE LIST ADDRESS instead of emailing the ADMIN address. Sheesh - it's worse than AOL around here these days.

Me too!
Scary thought - is there nobody from Yahoo on NANOG anymore?
I mean, really, if you are at provider X and provider X starts
spamming the list, I would think you'd deal with that internally...

it's a tad rough to call what's happening 'spamming', it's surely
'sending off-topic mails to a list'.
I'm not sure yahoo would classify (or most other folks) this as 'bad
enough to ban the account' yet.
the admins of the nanog-list could certainly take action though.
the reason for my email is that it was the second ot type email in a
week and i was hoping someone could clarify what the moderators will
and won't do.
i don't think an isp should block an email of this type - it doesn't
appear the account has been compromised at this point. the email is ot
to the list, not a compromise to the sender or isp.

oh sure, the admins can/should find an answer to this... since it's annoying.
