Hi,
What gets me about all this talk of spam can be neatly summed up with this
latest Cheese Ball post.
Her we have one tiny mail advertising some recipe, it took virtually none
of my bandwidth but, as a result of it, I have had to download another six
messages discussing it ....
Ironic??
Actually, its one message discussing this - and the rest discussing the
poor filter that sent a bounce message to the list.
And while I understand the reasons many people have for not wanting to
make posting here subscriber only, I still endorse such an idea since its
apparent spam isn't going to be filtered before being sent out.
