We use Yahoo Groups for the SWREG mailing list and every email that Yahoo Groups sends out has [SWREG] inserted at the beginning of every message subject field. On the odd occasion when one of these messages is trapped at Spamcop it is really easy to spot so that I do not accidentally report the sender for spamming and whitelist him so I can receive future emails sent by that sender. To date I have ever seen a spam with [SWREG] at the beginning and do not expect to in reality. -- Best wishes, Steve Lee http://jumbocruiser.com Tel +44 7768 211612 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.5 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
