Gee, thanks.  I don't want my user group to be a vehicle for
spam (just as I don't want people to be so ignorant that they
ignore a clear Reply-To header on email that I send out).

Just FYI: (1) my spam filters *do* catch most of this crap; but
why should AUUG waste its resources sending this out and why
should AUUG bother its members with this junk?  (2) my duplicate
suppression utility does block extra copies of messages from
hitting my inbox, but why should I have to process them when
I've made it quite clear that I don't want them?

Cheers, Greg
