        I was saddened to see "mailcast" in your list.  A couple
of my clients have used this program as an easy and inexpensive
Windoze based mailer for their legitimate newsletter mail lists.
Guess we'll now be looking for something else which doesn't ID
itself.  My guess is that many/most of the spammers have gone to
using mailers which don't ID themselves or masquerade as
something else. My guess is that all mailing list programs which
ID themselves have been observed in use by spammers. <sigh>

        Can I ask how you assembled this list of mailers?

Question: I note that Aristotle is duplicated.  Is this:
\\Arclab Maillist Controller
intentional? Also, ho you have an updated list that you'd be sood
good as to post?

        TIA,

        - Don
