[This message is being directed to all service providers (including upstream) of
the abuser in question]
To whom it may concern:
Following my signature is a copy of an e-mail (with complete routing headers)
sent to the www-talk e-mail list that I believe is in direct violation of
w3.org's published acceptable use policy.
According to <http://www.w3.org/Mail/Lists.html>, the www-talk e-mail discussion
list is SUPPOSED to be for:
"www-talk
This is the primary public mailing list for technical
discussion among those developing World Wide Web
software. It is explicitly intended for the collaborative
design of new systems, software, protocols, and
documentation which may be useful to the WWW
developer community. General questions from non-
developers should go to the newsgroup, and topics
relating to HTML should go to www-html."
but as you can see, the e-mail below has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with technical
discussion of any www software development issues.
The w3.org policy regarding use of their e-mail discussion lists for
distributing off-topic e-mail (i.e. Spam) can be found at
<http://www.w3.org/Mail/Spam>.
I would therefore request that you either inform your user/customer to either
abide by the published policies for this discussion list and take whatever
measures are necessary to prevent its reoccurrence, or else terminate the
account in question for reasons of abuse.
Thank you for your kind attention in this matter.
Sincerely,
"Fish" (David B. Trout)
