colin, thanks for the response, but given that a huge majority of the spam that makes its way through the list filters emanates from .cn, .tw, and .kr domains, where there are obviously huge relay holes, what does it take to have the list's spam guardians address the issue? the spam pollution on the list has increased hugely over the last six months. who's responsible for the filter? i'm not assuming that there's no filtering; rather wondering if the filterer is keeping up with current degree of infiltration. if i can help with that task, let me know how. ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
