Please do not RE-POST spam messages back to the list for the sole purpose
of carboning everyone here that you don't want spam. The members of this
list didn't spam you, and we certainly don't want another copy of the spam.
And dammit, my spam filters got rid of it just fine -- but YOUR spam came
through just fine. Do I sound pissed? Well, I am - and not at the
original spammer, but at you for giving me three fresh copies of it that I
managed to avoid the first time around.
Consider also that "please don't spam me" messages WILL NOT have any
effect. Other than to confirm your address as a valid recipient for spam
(even if the company you sent the request to honoured it, and didn't send
any more spam to you themselves, your address can still be sold to others
for spamming).
As a matter of fact, by clear carbon copying the procmail list on your
feeble attempts to have them stop spamming you, you've no doubt ensured
that the procmail list will get MORE spam, because you've provided them
with a parseable address.
Thank you very much.

Please DO NOT carbon me on list replies. I'll get my copy from the list.
