I cant help agreeing that something has gone a little wrong with the filtering - i've definitely had one or two problems myself. A particular thing which surprised me was that I couldnt post from any online mail services any more - If I wanted to sign into my regular email on the web from work for example, then my posts got bounced. I tried with 3 different services, Yahoo and 2 regular dial-up service providers which (like most in the UK) have web-based email facilities as well as POP3 email, and all my messages got rejected consistantly. Now I cant say this for sure, but my guess would have been that webmail makes a poor platform to attempt to spam from in comparison to a "normal" email account as you usually only have access to basic composition and addressing tools. Most webmail sites also now have virus scanning built-in, so isnt this one case at least where the filtering could use some refinement ? blocking out every web-based email service which the system seems to do means people can only post from their home boxes Jean-Mark Dupoux jmdupoux@lineone.net On 5 Apr 2002, at 0:41, irado wrote: > > If the spam filtering that the lists implement are not to > your > > liking, perhaps you can volunteer to help maintain better > ones? > > Filtering is not a perfect science.
