For now, I agree. But if it ever becomes anything like my personal email address (about 15 spam messages for every ham) it will kill discussion completely. And with the posting address all over the Web, this will happen. And of course, using SA to filter spam from this list is virtually impossible. > As far as the tagging of this particular email as spam or not, this is a > "semi legitimate" service.

This makes them appear legitimate, but that doesn't necessarily stop them from buying lists of addresses and spamming them. I have my doubts whether someone actually entered SAtalk as "someone they admire." (I tried to log in as SAtalk to find out who admires us, but someone has already registered that address and I couldn't guess the password.) -- Michael Moncur mgm at starlingtech.com http://www.starlingtech.com/ "Never judge a book by its movie." --J.
