The IPKat is sorry if any of his readers have received spam email through his mailing list, informing them that they have won the lottery - bad news chaps, it's a hoax.
The IPKat has set his mailing list so that all posts to the group need to be moderated. However, it appears that some spam can bypass this moderation system. As a result, the Kat has upped security, so that only messages from members of the group can be circulated, and then only once they've been moderated by Jeremy or Ilanah. He hopes that this won't interfere with the normal posting system, but if anyone suddenly finds that they're not getting the IPKat's emails, please drop him a line.
The IPKat hopes that this will erradicate such spam.
