[ILUG] URGENT RESPONSE

[Rod McCall]

I am not sure if it is possible for lists. However I use spamcop.net which 
blocked the same messages when they were sent directly to me, before they even 
reached my machine. Also it stops viruses.

I guess spamcop could be set up to receive all mail which is sent to the lists 
and then simply forward it all back out again. It's not perfect but I'd say its 
preventing around 95% of the spam I'm getting.

cheers,

rod
