But in the end, if you don't wanna receive any spam, you should set up good Procmail recipes. Or, the easy way; install SpamAssassin. :-) It is *really* good, I have to emphasize it again and again. If I'd be whining to every mailing list I've subscribed to (believe me, there are *many*), I would still receive tons of spam, no matter how politely I would've been asking. As I said, after installing this marvellous software, the amount of spam that comes *through* has dropped to almost zero. You really should consider installing it. > a first step would be if mailinglist (this include) drop any html > mail. next step could be to remove those with 'unsubscibe' in the > subject >;> Well, again -- before I set up SA, I had Procmail recipe, which would kill all mails with Content-type: text/html and also all mails with subject 'unsubscribe'.

Umm, something weird is going on in your end, because I can access the site with no trouble at all. Try adding a trailing slash to that URL, if it would help? Pretty weird indeed, because I just pasted that URL I wrote and am looking at the page right now... -- Jussi Ekholm <ekhowl@goa-head.org> | GNU/Linux user number 269376 http://erppimaa.cjb.net/~ekhowl/ | ICQ UIN: 156057281 ekh on IRCnet | GnuPG Public Key ID: 1410081E
