It is best to start a new topic on a list by creating a new message, not by replying to someone else's post. When you reply to an unrelated post, your post gets threaded in the other topic in the archive and it makes the archive hard to read. Anyway, the answer to your question is install better spam filtering in your MTA. The best thing is to identify spam at incoming SMTP time and don't accept it in the first place. Next best is to accept it but silently discard it in the MTA - do not bounce it to the claimed sender as this is almost certainly forged. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
