Yes, this requires notification, advising people to log on and check their new allow/block settings to make sure they want them. -----Original Message----- From: STeve Andre' [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2010 6:11 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] Question about mail.msu.edu block lists John told me about this, and I looked, and found a couple of names I *know* I'd never added, but recognized as people I've seen on some mailing lists. In my case they were all on the 'add' side, so I wasn't blocking anyone. But it does sound like ATS needs to issue a general alert here and let folks know about this. --STeve Andre' On Thursday 19 August 2010 17:54:22 John Valenti wrote: > Respectfully, I think however this was implemented was seriously > broken, and a broadcast message needs to go out to all users.
