For what Gadi is doing, none of the above is relevant. > Please search the mailman user's list archives, there have been many > discussions about spam handling. Again, you need to understand more about the level at which Gadi is operating. See my other message to Patrick about this. -- Brad Knowles, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trend Micro has announced that they will cancel the stop.mail-abuse.org mail forwarding service as of 15 November 2006.
