Some misguided person sent my entire mailing list an "e-card" from the
Heineken World Wide Web server in the Netherlands. A silly .gif file with a
message.
The Heineken site seems set up so you that you cannot contact the webmaster
or anyone at Heineken -- but visitors can fling messages/graphics files to
any e-mail address. (Most of the postcard sites I've seen send a simple
text notice that you follow up (or not) by visiting the WW site to see the
message.)
I did try to contact "postmaster@Heineken.nl" and
"Heineke3@www.Heineken.com" saying that this was a BAD IDEA and was
creating another set of net pests.
Anyone here have a similar list experience? Or have any other suggestions
on how to deal with this? If this technique proliferates, blocking
originating addresses one-by-one in Majordomo seems futile.
