I must have phrased that poorly...I'm running spamassasin on my e-mail server, receiving e-mail from the supervision@list.skarnet.org ezmlm server (I think it's ezmlm). So e-mail coming into any of my personal e-mail lists are filtered, but so are e-mails coming through this list. That's the problem, ezmlm at list.skarnet.org thinks I don't exist periodically, since spam bounces. :) Not a big deal, it seems to figure it out on it's own, just thought I would mention it. --Mike
