ADMIN: spamming by "recruiters"

Dear list members;

A "recruiter" going by the name of "Doug Kelly" (email address is
dkelly at bryantstaffing.com but headers indicate the use of what are
euphemistically called "mass mailing services") appears to be mining
our mailing list archives and systematically sending out unsolicited
mass commercial mailings, AKA spam, to the harvested list.

My attempts to explain proper behavior to this individual appear to
have met with the usual sort of answer one gets in this sort of
situation, vis:

> What are you talking about with regard to spam....don't you recognize a job
> opportunity when you see it.... 

I've already reported the problem to a few anti-spam services, but I
would suggest that anyone who finds such behavior reprehensible take
whatever action they deem appropriate.

Sample relevant headers follow:
