The obvious answer is that if your corporate email policy makes you look like an idiot, post to mailing lists from a personal email address that doesn't make you look like an idiot. This also spares the list from "out-of-office" messages from Exchange servers too stupid to refrain from sending such messages to mailing lists. Regards, Tim.
