A lot higher than other open lists that I subscribe to. "Some false positives" isn't unacceptable. Usually the person can figure out why he got the false positive, and repost in such a way that he doesn't. About 90% of the spam that does get through on this list, I'm able to identify just from the Subject: line alone. So changing the subject would be enough to get it through... -Philip ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
