And 90% of which bypass moderation etc. Actually, I'm confused... I get single emails (I refuse to use digests, they're too hard to reply to), and in the last 3 weeks, I have received precisely zero spam/scam/phising emails from this list. Perhaps it is Gmail's filters (but I doubt it, since I check the spam bucket regularly), but more likely something to do with the digest itself. Fact is (I just checked), in the space of the last 14 days I have received only 22 emails from this list. Of those, two were spam. So, as I said, I'm baffled. How is it that others receive so much junk? The one common thing I've noticed is that they appear to all be using the digest mode, but I am using individual emails (which are filtered into a separate folder at this end). > > > > I sent this request before and was told that the person in charge of this > list filters this stuff out.
