Well... That's generated a few spam bounce messages for the maillist:

"lug.org" give a nicely low spam rating to classify my posting as "ham"
(ie, not spam).


And then:

free-online.co.uk
plus.com
plus.net: 552 Spam Message Rejected

tesco.net
synacor.com: 554 5.7.1 [P4] Message blocked due to spam content in the
message.


Worse still are the replies that include my "from" address in the
posting, and with that repeated again in the html part of the email as a
link... (Please post to the maillist in text only ;-) ).

Worse still yet, with all that is the collateral damage that too many
bounces due to false positive spam refusals and those maillist members
will get automatically removed from the list... And they will not know
about it!

Mmmm... And there's no apparent means to communicate with anyone that
can make a fix...


Please do not include my mail address in mailings!

Cheers,
Martin
