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? --Mike
