geez .... so if the nigeerian spam emails gets past thru the lsit filters
and makes it to the subscribers ... that is not spam ??? 

geez... i say that its spam ... simply because of its content 

nothng to do with subscribed or opt-in or content ...
	- spam is spam no matter if from a list or received separately

- like i said .. my spam rules will vary compared to your definition of spam

-- think this is another dead horse ... about "what is spam" or not

c ya
