I don't think that's necesarry.  I don't mind the occasional spam message, 
although every so often I do get an e-mail telling me that if one more 
message bounces ezmlm (I think that's what's being used) will take me off the 
list.  Apparently spam assasin bounces the e-mails before I see them.

So far it seems that the e-mail explaining that I will be removed satisfies 
ezmlm that I exist, and I keep getting valuable e-mail...although sometimes I 
worry that I'm missing something.  I don't suppose anyone knows any clever 
way around that problem?
