Guys.. believe me when I say that 99% of the SPAM is currently already
trapped by a combination of RBL, ORBS, DULS and others, as well as the
little modification to majordomo that requires [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be on
the first To: or CC: line.
The very few that still get through are 1% of the total.
