Why not? You delegate all sorts of decisions to others, why should mail be any different? It's merely a matter of deciding who to trust. And how much to trust 'em, which brings us on to how such lists are *really* used. Sensible people use such lists merely as one of many tools each of which indicates that a message may or may not be Bad, and only flag messages for special treatment if they trip over a certain threshold. Note that I said flag messages for special treatment. Not decline them. -- David Cantrell | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david Considering the number of wheels Microsoft has found reason to invent, one never ceases to be baffled by the minuscule number whose shape even vaguely resembles a circle. -- anon, on Usenet
