I'm not in any way responsible for ADSM-L or its routine operations, but fifteen or twenty years ago, I ran mailing lists just like ADSM-L, using (presumably earlier versions of) the same software. Dude, chill! Lists run by LISTSERV daemons have fairly simple safeguards in place to guard against mailing loops. Lists can also have in place restrictions about who can send to the list -- and the daemons have no idea about which e-mail addresses are really the same person, so I have to remember if I'm subscribed as [email protected], [email protected], or some other address. But after that, I have never seen any indication that [email protected] is tied into spam filters. I'm pretty sure that any messages you're getting about possibly being spam are coming from mail systems with subscribers to ADSM-L, not from [email protected]. I also never have heard of the list owners banning anyone. I'm not saying they haven't, but they haven't banned you if I could read your note. Your messages made it to the list, even this message. As for what happened as it reached other mail systems, that's annoying, but lots of people apparently think the benefits of there being a list, and participating on it, are worth it. If you're going to leave the list, at least make sure it's for the right reasons, and the reasons you imply above seem like fallacies to me. Just a thought, Nick
