    Hi,

    We have a big problem in the Spanish SuSE list.

    There is a poster, probably certified mad (Tourette syndrome), that has
    taken to insult people as he pleases. But the worst is that he is emailing
    with the from address replaced by any other person of the list (me, for
    example), confusing the innocent people that are not aware of this. I'm
    talking about 50 messages of this kind per day, more than the normal
    traffic.

    The list administrator does not answer us. Novell (contacted directly) is
    doing nothing. SuSE does nothing. Who can do something?

       I wonder if they would do something if this person posted as
       "support@novell"?

    We need a list with login/password. Or a news forum, as Novell implements
    in parallel to lists (support-forums.novell.com), but with autentification
    procedure. Whatever.

    Meanwhile, many worthy people (clients) have quited the list. Some have
    gone to alternative lists in private servers put up by some posters, and
    dispersing listers. Even suse support in Spain is ashamed to forward
    people to suse-linux-s when the free support does not cover the problem of
    the client!

    It is not a joke.

    I write here in the hope that people that can do something in SuSE/Novell,
    are told, publicly, of what is happening. They are responsible, as the
    company hosting a server that is hosting insults - at least with our laws.
    At least, they can remove the insults from the archives, and take
    technical measures to impede further damage.

    Sorry to bother this list. I hope you don't ever have to suffer what we
    suffer.
