Of course it gets even worse when you have an email address on a webpage or
2,
I currently auto delete 400 messages a day, and manually delete about the
same from the
plethora of email addresses I have, unfortunately I reported them to their
ISP and spamcop but to no avail as they are using spammed addressed (usually
yahoo) so Yahoo responds "The user does not exist", I have noticed a
plethora of Viagra and Grow a couple inches spams are the most proliferent.
I really should look up procmail for getting it to auto remove any viagra or
growth adverts....

on another note, I have managed to get my lists working (the documentstion
is pretty poor on this, but I have managed via some tweaking (and copying
files) to use the newlists3.pl script, which files are necesary to get it to
work.... I have the $listname
file that contains the actual email addresses of the group members.
then i have $listname-post file which just seems to have the owners email
address
then I have $listname-post.config which seems to be a list config file.
Then I have the same as above for $listname-digest.
and then I also have a $listname.config file...


and if anyone can tell me how and where I can put files available for get
via a list I would be eternally greatful.
