Subject: Spam source located

	The source of the spam to our list (which hit earlier this evening) has
been located. It came through what appears to be a dedicated link at
psi.net, and was illegally relayed through an open server in Japan that is
listed in the ORBS (Open Relay Blocking Service) database as being wide
open to spammer abuse.

	The address implicated in the 'From:' field appears to be part of the
Australian agricultural site (agnet.com.au). I question whether it is
genuine. I have dispatched a formal complaint to psi.net, and have also
notified the Australian site SysAdmin.

	I will inform the list as to the nature of whatever replies I get back.

	NOBODY spams a list I'm a member of and gets away with it!!
