Combined with a move, it makes sense, but not on its own. Some spammers are already using scraped address pairs, which defeats that setting, and I expect that to incease. These are the alternatives: a) I move you to a different address, using the same software except with even stricter settings b) I help move you over to nomic.net c) keep the status quo Note that in case a) you keep your Rule Date line, and in case b) you may be able to get a reply-to pointing back to the list. In both cases I'd forward mail for a few days, not more. Your choice. If you decide on a move, I'd like to do it on "1 May 2003 1233-EDT": the 25th anniversary of the the first known spam. --Arnt -- Rule Date: 2003-04-09 12:07:20 GMT
