This because I posted on another list. Mr Jorgens is apparently another member of the list.
It's pretty obvious that what is being attempted will not scale well over the whole internet even though it may make some sense. What should list managers be doing about it?
Why do lists populate the from header with the address of the poster rather than the address of the list which would be easier for such an anti-spam scheme to add to a white list?
