I have my miscellaneous email accounts through my hosted domain names, and, I have hundreds of email filters to deal with the email that goes through those accounts. Somewhere in those filters, stuff from some unregulated and commonly used for malicious email, providers, such as hotmail, gets deleted. So, I have my gmail account, which is also subscribed to this list, and, to some other lists, and, this gmail email account, can accept most email, and, gmail has a kind of semi-intelligent filtering system to deal with malicious emails. Whilst I do still get the occasional notification of bounces of messages from the Debian lists to which I subscribe from my gmail account, such bounce notifications, due to the rarity of the bounces, are not sufficient, to cause me to become removed from the list. So, to me, the simple solution, is to use something like a gmail account, for your mailing lists messages. I am curious as to why you are apparently defying your employer, and running a particular mailserver using your employer's resources, against the instructions/wishes of your employer, and, why your employer lets you get away with so defying your employer. I would have thought that, should you insist on running a mailserver that your employer does not want, you would do it outside of, and, unrelated to, your employment. A few years ago, I had been runnning a mailserver here, on our domestic LAN, running Postfix, until the computer (that we had bought for about 100AUD, as a used HP computer, with an MMX CPU, that lasted for several years, as a mailserver), apparently died, and, I have not got around to creating a replacement mailserver. So, if you insist on running your own mailserver, why can you not do it, on a LAN, at your residence, completely dissociated from your work? And, why can you not use a gmail account (or, a similar, free webmail account), for mailing list subscriptions, at least, in the interim? I find it to be effective. Oh, and, as with others, who have already posted in this thread, I too, am not a list administrator of this mailing list, simply someone who is wondering why you do not apply one or more of the suggested, simple and obvious solutions. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
