The notion that mailing lists can filter spam by sender email address is 
fundamentally broken, at least when the addresses filtered are those of major 
ISPs.  The mistake is that the fact a particular ISP customer sends spam 
doesn't mean that the millions of other customers do.

Since the antispam "service" currently used by the cctalk list doesn't 
understand this, can it be leaned on to fix their mistake?  If not, could it be 
scrapped?  Unfortunately, this sort of wrongheaded behavior goes back decades; 
one wonders what's wrong with the people who run these so-called services.
