----------------------- dear E-druggers Some E-druggers complained to me that they had received a SPAM email from hgh@best-anti-aging.com containing an advert promoting HGH (Human Growth Hormone). The advert is for HGH and like a pyramid scheme: you forward it to 5 people and automatically get a free sample. HGH is a prescription-only drug, and is illegally misused by athletes and body builders. Spamming is bad enough, but spamming illegal substances is dangerous and should be actively stopped. We would like to find out how they got our email addresses. Our list of email addresses is protected, but our archives are publicly available at [http://www.healthnet.org/programs/edrug.html](http://www.healthnet.org/programs/edrug.html) Could I therefore ask whether an E-drugger who has NEVER submitted a message, also got this spam email? If so, please send me an email at WilbertBannenberg@compuserve.com We will then have to review our security in the E-drug server. kind regards Wilbert Bannenberg E-drug co-moderator Email: WilbertBannenberg@compuserve.com -- Send mail for the `E-Drug' conference to `e-drug@usa.healthnet.org'.
