This is a spam-address, so that's taken care of. Honestly, I'd sooner drop my lists than deal with multiple email clients.
I actually get *very* little spam since we have implemented Open SPF on our mail server and subscribe to several server-integrated spam services. That's why the spam coming through the list is so much more annoying - it's not getting picked up by FOUR layers of detection (Open SPF, hosted blacklists, heuristics, AND Outlook's own filters). Adding yet another layer of complexity in there would be ridiculous. And really, it *should* be the list-owner's responsibility. If my company had a mail server that was being abused by spammers, you would expect my company to fix the problem. I don't see why this is any different. I realize that Ray, et all are trying their best, and I'm not blaming them, but if the content/noise ratio on a list gets to high, the list dies from lack of utility and then lack of interest. That's the real reason that spam is such an issue.

In addition to CFCDEV spam, you're probably getting email sent directly to you by spammers who harvested your address from the archives. Are you allowed to access free webmail sites from the office? If so, you might want sign up and use one of those for mailing lists (and all non-work-related email). Gmail does a pretty good job blocking CFCDEV spam for me. If not, maybe you could sign up for webmail and have the webmail forward to your work address (after spam filters have been applied, of course).
