Their spam blocker was on by default, and in the case of stuff that got caught, it was deleted right away, with no chance for reviewing bad catches (and it did indeed catch things that it shouldn't have, emails from various mailing lists) before they were gone. And nowhere that I noticed did they mention that they were doing this. :-( -- Member of the toughest, meanest, deadliest, most unrelenting -- and ablest -- form of life in this section of space, a critter that can be killed but can't be tamed. --Robert A.
