SPAM on DC ExLibris list
by Gourley, Don 06 Jun '22

06 Jun '22

My apologies for the SPAM/Phishing emails that came to this list yesterday. It looks like the list address itself was somehow subscribed to the list so spammers had an easy email to forge as the From address. I've fixed that and will keep an eye on it to see if there are any other issues with the list's configuration. -Don -- Don Gourley Director of Information Technology Washington Research Library Consortium
