Don't Reply to Spam on a Mailing List

By Heinz Tschabitscher, About.com

Sometimes, spammers may post their unsolicited message to a mailing list you are on.

Don't Reply to Spam on a Mailing List

As tempting as it may be,

  • do not complain about the spam on the list.

You can complain to the spammer's ISP, or you can tell the list administrator to implement stronger measures against list spamming. If you reply to spam on the list, however, your message becomes spam, too.
