Funny enough, they just had to do a purge of another Mailing List I am on that is hosted on Smartgroups (Zoids-fans...don't ask...) Boy what a tasty piece of spam-bait that list is...posts were taking well over 24 hours to show up so the moderators took a look at the list membership and discovered hundreds upon hundreds of addresses that were nothing more than: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or some similar bot-driven addy. It would be pretty easy to take a look at the list membership and cull those kind of addresses. however I'm sure you'd end up killing probably 10% of real posters email addresses that just happen to make no sense. ~J -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
