You could tell me any number you like, I didn't see even one of them, because my bayesian filters are properly trained for the kind of mail I get - which was my point, not that the list wasn't sending them. I didn't even see the out-of-the office autoreply that someone almost as clueless as I am sent personally to me as a result of my post to the list (and I won't see any resulting from this post either:) except that I checked the trash for false positives. " lists should block anything that purports to be from a site like paypal " or ebay as a matter of course. " what list owner would use a list for an account with them? Well, as I said, I agree that all sorts of this kind of sewage should be stopped as close to source as possible for a number of very good reasons - but wasting my personal eyeball time isn't one of those reasons because I don't see them anyway.
