Thanks  for  this update.  Just so you know, before I switch the email account, 
there were
1224  spam items inbound to the old account @qualityoffice.com in one month.  
Since I move
my email for this list to another account.  I am looking at five.

The problem is solved and we can close this thread.

The  "other  factors"  would  be the faking of the from address in the
spam  you  are receiving. They do not come from this list. Only 2 spam
messages  have been sent through the list in the past couple of months
and the accounts concerned placed on moderation.

It  was  a  serious  problem.   I  find  it interesting now that I have switch 
the hosting
company for the mailing, the spam and reduced significantly
And the original email server, is see a very small amount of spam.

The common denominator was the this mailing list.

I don't mean to say I am not getting spam. I am getting *tons*, possibly almost 
*megatons* of it as I get mails from several "domain baskets", but Antispam 
Snipper is doing an awesome job for
me here.

My mail address that I am on the list with is very distinctive: 
tbbeta-list*ät*kabelac.cz so identifying spam that came from that direction 
should be fairly simple.
That said, I couldn't find a _single_ spam message caught by ASS (only a little 
pun intended ;) )  that was sent to that address..

So either I am missing (as in failing to see) all that spam, or I would suspect 
other factors involved in the plague you are experiencing.

Endless amounts of spam from the Beta Mailing list.

This is interesting.

I  recently moved to another mail service given the high degree of spam and 
offensive email
that was being sent to qualityoff...@thedesk.ca.   ( about 750 per month)

I believe someone has used the mailing list for spam purposes.

Since  moving  to  another  mailing account (supp...@thedesk.ca)  list,  I  
have noticed a significant increase of spam
attempts and nasty email threats.  Hence the bounce backs.

The amount of email and threats on the former address have dropped 
significantly.

I  would  encourage  a  review of how the emails addresses associated with the 
Bat Mailing
list  are  securing.   I really think they have been compromised and the spam 
mail is very
bad.

Jerry
