Why would a message identified as spam be identified as anything else at a later date and why would those be "better circumstances"? How does 4XXing the message to the mailing list help? Surely you are giving the list server a bit extra work to do as it will keep retrying the message until it times out after a few days? -- David Hart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
