Ahhhh - that happens a lot. It has happened on the list at times. Spam
filters aren't kind to the list either - some pick up list mails as "bulk
mails".

I gather Bellsouth are petioning AOL to get the ban lifted? Actually
Bellsouth has been banned on a number of occassions by many ISP's. Seems
Bellsouth attracts a lot of spammers for some reason. Personally I get so
sick of deleting spam. I wont use a spam filter as I am more afraid that a
desperate mum's email will get lost in a spam filter than I am of deleting
mails. I can't wait for Bill Gates to homour his promise to rid the net of
spammers. (no I am not a person who hates Bill Gates, I just wish I was as
smart and had even some of his business sense)

I have not lost my mind - it's backed up on disk somewhere.
