[WSBAPT] hoax??

[Carl Gay]

I received the following email this morning.

I find it suspicious.

Can anyone confirm its legitimacy.

Many thanks.

LISTSERV at LISTSERV.COURTS.WA.GOV has  just received the  enclosed delivery
error  as a  result of  a  probe sent  to your  CARL at GREENAWAYLAWFIRM.COM
account  for  the SUPREMECOURTOPINIONS  list.  If  you are  reading  this
message, it means  that your mail system is  successfully delivering mail
to  your mailbox,  while at  the same  time reporting  that an  error has
occurred (or, alternatively,  the error could be due to  a system problem
which has  since then been  fixed). At any rate,  LISTSERV has no  way to
know  that  you  have  actually  received the  present  message,  and  is
operating on the assumption that your  e-mail address is no longer valid.

Typically, LISTSERV will send you  one or more additional probe messages,
on a  daily basis, to determine  whether the failure persists,  and if so
you will be  removed from the list eventually. Some  lists are configured
to remove users on the first failure.



Assuming you have not  been removed from the list yet,  you can stop this
process by sending the following command to LISTSERV at LISTSERV.COURTS.WA.GOV
as soon as possible:



                      CONFIRM SUPREMECOURTOPINIONS



This will tell LISTSERV that your account actually does work and that you
still want to receive mail from the SUPREMECOURTOPINIONS list.



While the CONFIRM command will solve your immediate problem, it is only a
matter  of time  until you  find yourself  in the  same situation  again.

Please take  a look  at the  enclosed error report  and try  to determine
whether it is a genuine error,  or just an informational message. Bear in
mind that this error report was  processed by a computer that cannot tell
"User JAIME24  does not exist" from  "Please note that the  Department of
Microbiology will be  closed from December 19 to January  2" or "Attempts
to deliver your message have been unsuccessful for 300 seconds; will keep
trying for  another 431700 seconds." These  informational messages, while
possibly useful  to a  human reader, should  not be sent  in answer  to a
message coming from a mailing list (it  is very easy for the mail program
to determine  whether a message is  coming from a mailing  list). Genuine
errors should be reported to  your computer/network support staff as soon
as possible so that they can be corrected.
