Guys,

The SPAM was not from a list member. Period. If it was, I would have booted
him.

Since the upgrade to Gerry's software to v1.8d of ListServ, we have been
running ListServ's automatic SPAM filter. While it is not perfect, it has
stopped over 80% of the SPAM from hitting the list. Nothing personal, but
going after the additional 20% is something I don't have the time to deal
with right now due to demands at work (read- long hours).

After the 1st of the year, I'll dig deeper into what I can do about it.
Maybe it can be one of my resolutions. :)

Your list admin,
TomC
