Then again, you can Phil, This is a non-problem if you use the right spam filter. I mentioned CanIt earlier in the thread. It individually applies filtering rules to incoming mail and can apply different rules and take actions on a per-user basis. It handles messages with multiple recipients by feeding copies of the message into an individual user's stream where that user's settings dictate what actions are taken. A user may have an aggressive spam score or an extremely conservative score, message rejection with SpamHaus and SORBS or no DNSBLs at all, tons of custom rules and lots of bells and whistles or spam filtering disabled completely. They've already anticipated all the possible problems that have been brought up in this thread. Arrange for a demo and give it a try. I don't think you'd be disappointed. http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2008-July/001884.html Justin
