This is the last I will have to say on this topic. Why can't we let people test the waters before subscribing to this wonderful knowledge base. Then it is up to the person to subscribe. We will never get rid of 100% of spam. My question is as linux users and members of the list why don't you implement anti spam software? Stopping spam should be the responsibility of the recipient. As Linux user group members we should be capable of implementing technology available to us. :)
