Hi folks,

Sorry to be a pain, but I am a member of this list and I recieved 386 of
these messages last week alone (see below). This accounts for 10% of all
emails coming through my server. Are the lists monitored in any way for
repeated virusers/spammers?

This is really starting to become a nuisance, and it would be a shame to
have to unsubscribe as I find the lists extremely useful.

Cheers,

Ian
