The message said I am not subscribed to SCOUG-HELP. I also get them from
SCOUG-GENERAL.
So if I am not subscribed why do I get this message? In todays environment
that kind of message should never be sent.
Since I am subscribed I am going to assume that the error message is incorrect
and there is some other reason that it is being bounced to me. If the problem
is that a spam filter is sending the message it would help if the message said
what is really happening and include the spam as an attachment so the source
can be identified.
I also get messages that seem to be sent to Steward at scoug dot com and then
get sent back because the commands are not recognized. I understand why these
are returned to me.

The spammers must like you more than they like me. ;-)
BTW you need to change the abuse reporting email address at "abuse.net" as they
still have domainadmin at sundialsystems dot com listed.
