[okfn-discuss] (no subject)

[Jonathan Gray]

Graham Simpson has previously complained about getting spam. I think he 
was just subscribed to the list. Mako sent him instructions on how to 
unsubscribe a couple of months back:

http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/okfn-discuss/2008-May/000874.html

I assumed he would have unsubscribed himself, but as he was still on the 
list I just took him off.

I'm sure that spammers use the okfn list addresses in the From: field. 
Is there anything that can done about this?
