I know this is OT, and I never engage in such discussions, but this gets right into one of my pet peeves, so here's my two cents: Was this a SpamArrest message? If so DO NOT REPLY. If you read SpamArrests fine print, it basically says that by replying, you give them permission to send you spam. I never get spamarrest messages anymore, because I placed the following in my /etc/mail/access file: spamarrest.com 550 Go Away Spamarrest! I don't need YOUR spam Apparently SpamArrest provides their service for free, and pays for it by sending spam to anyone sending mail to their customers. I also don't care for TDMA in a mailing list context either, but they're perfect for children you want to protect from some of the more explicitly natured spam - and other internet nasties. It's pretty simple to set up, as I understand it. Basically, anyone sending you email has to put a 'tag' in the subject. No tag, no delivery. Plain and simple. I do plan to use this for my daughter when she gets to that point. In the meantime, I figure if someone doesn't allow all email from a list without making everyone that sends email to it jump through hoops, they don't really want to get the information provided. Why bother joining? Seems to me this is a grotesque breach of ettiquette anyway. Besides, I haven't sent mail to the list for awhile, and I want to see if this is something other than SpamArrest - I won't get that one :) Cheers Lou -- Louis LeBlanc [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fully Funded Hobbyist, KeySlapper Extrordinaire :) http://www.keyslapper.org ԿԬ Speer's 1st Law of Proofreading: The visibility of an error is inversely proportional to the number of times you have looked at it. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
