Weird - I haven't got any from the list (unless I have some involuntary 
eye-closing mechanism when spam appears - possible :). I don't have any 
filtering in place either (as a rule, I don't get any anyway) - although, my 
ISP probably does to an extent (ORBZ, I think). They also charge people for 
sending UCE from their mail servers at a rate of £1000/recipient, IIRC.

The copy Stig sent to the list seemed to be addressed to gllug at list.ftech.net 
rather than gllug at linux.co.uk though, perhaps that may be the reason. 
Although, that was someone called "Paper Chain Technology" who seemed to be 
very much UK, and not .cn or whatever it was.

Cheers,
			Alex.
