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.
