i have not seen any email from a@a.com come thru - i direct all junk mail
into a special mail box so that i can search it for things like this -
later i will see if i can enable filters for offending sites

you may not post to the linux-tr list unless you are a member (i hate spam
too) - any non-member posts were always kicked back to the postmaster - i
had the who_access set to 'list' - that is only people that are bonified
members of the list are able to get a whois from the list - i just changed
it to 'closed' - that means NOBODY has access to that information ;->

really, who in this list needs that information anyway

you might be a redneck.
