About my Out of Office response email

[John Li]

Dear TLUG users,

First of all I feel really sorry about the annoying that those Out of Office
emails brought to you and I was surprised also this morning when I got back
to office. It's not working the way I setup the responding rule because I
only setup to respond emails directly sent to me, not to the email list !

After digging into the list archive and my email history with the help from
my system admin, I feel it's very necessary to tell you guys what have
happened.

1. There is no Out of Office email in the list archive so I am assuming my
email program didn't send that email to the list address.
2. Not every one got Out of Office response when they posted their message
to the list.
3. A guy impersonated me to send me a email on Apr 17 and email log
indicates it's from node1.opengeometry.net
4. A guy send out a email with my contact info to the list on Apr 24 and the
email log indicates it's from node1.opengeometry.net. Please note this is
obviously violating my privacy !!!
5. I got some people using telnet into my email server and send me email
directly
6. A lot of email sent to me directly by telnet into my email server and
impersonating they are from email addresses who claimed they got the Out of
Office response.

Based on those, it's clearly that this event could possibly caused by
someone intentionally or by some kind of virus out there but not on my
systems. I did the proper setup so please don't blame on me any more.

Also I want to point out that item no. 4 is extremely un-acceptable and I
want that guy try his best to remove the impact ASAP. I will hold my right
on that according to Canadian law and please remember your information is
logged everywhere as well.

Hopefully you guys are still reading this and let's build the clean, safer
community together.

Thanks.

John
