TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I don't think that's the issue. mail addresses are being harvested from
sources outside the immediate list, than sent outside the lit. I get 100+
per day and none of them come from the list.

Thanks so much, Eric, for hosting this list.
I have questions about the Lyris list server software that runs this list:
Can you set Lyris to bounce all techwrl posts that contain attachments?
Can you set Lyris to bounce all techwrl posts bigger than 20K?*
Either rule would prevent the current problems. Bouncing posts with
attachments would especially be useful to solve future problems with viruses
that manifest as .pif files and .exe attachments.
