Mike, You have a 'Reply To' in your postings' headers that directs a reply to your email address rather than the list address, as do many people here. It can be a problem if the responder doesn't notice this, especially if the email address is an autoresponder. I use a white list email filter on my local computer and no 'catch all' mailboxes at my domains. It's much easier to teach filters to recognize good email than try to identify spam. All messages are directed to the spam box and land there unless the filter sees them as good. For elecraft related email, I look for two header lines. If 'X-Original-To' contains [EMAIL PROTECTED], the email goes to my elecraft list box. If not, and [Elecraft] is on the 'To' line, someone has written to me directly and it is directed to my elecraft private reply box. If someone writes to me directly without some key, such as [Elecraft] on the 'To' line, or my name on the 'To' line, (spammers collect only email addresses) it lands in the spam box. I look at everything in the spam box and if I see something good, I add it to the filters. I use more robust methods, filtering on 'Return-Path' or others that are not easily forged, for sites that are frequently forged by scammers and spammers. I won't fill in web forms to contact anyone. I have registered with sites that are free, but only to purchase online. If I have to register to look at a file, even if registering is free, I go without it or look somewhere else.
