This is a help channel. I don't want everyone to be forced to subscribe to the list just to post a question. This discourages people from asking.

I have spent more time in my life reading (and sometimes participating) in discussions about spam on mailing lists than I spent deleting the spam :) Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
