[AT] test again

[David Bruce]

Larry,
The spam filter my ISP uses also catches some of the list mail.  I have it set 
to email me with a list of the blocked emails from the last 24 hours so I can 
quickly scan the list for things I want to keep.  I look at both the subject and 
the senders email address because of just the situation you mention.  I can also 
go directly to the blocked file via a web access and forward or delete as 
needed.  Certainly far from an ideal system but better than having an inbox full 
of junk.
