I don't know how to comment on that really; not a good start to an 
email.. But there are many other lists around you know. This one has 
it's qualities and sometimes people kind of abuse it; we just have to 
accept that spoofed spam.. And be more intelligent with email, sign you 
emails with a key; maybe even encrypt them! (fsck just realised that 
doesn't quite work with a moderated list.. SPF.. Makes no difference, 
many x.y.zcom webmail accounts with SPF or any other form of domain 
verification. But it does limit the DSL "Zombie" IRC-Bot machines. 
(Unless they relay.. Odd though apart from the obvious 
Outlook/IE/??Thunderbird??/??Firefox?? Mail sending via exploit routes; 
generally the SMTP part of the bot will do direct comms with the 
destination(am I wrong on this?? how wrong??)))

But is that a bakers dozen?
