I feel that short of becoming a spamfilter developer I'm running out of toggles and buttons to tune the filter to avoid false positives / negatives. So if one your postings doesn't make it to the list contact me and I'll approve the posting. Loud rant at certain email providers, in particular Yahoo. If your email bounces during SMTP transfer there is no way for the list software to know if that was because an email address got stale or because for some reason the contest was inacceptable or maybe just too large. Whatever the issue, if the list robot sees more than a paricular number of bounces within a certain time frame, it will unsubscribe users. So for your spam filter setup this just means if you don't like a posting, discard it locally, don't bounce it. Ralf
