I'm not taking their side in this, but I don't see why they should be singled out.) More questions: Doesn't our list distribute only from subscribers? If not, we could change that. If yes, is it easy for a bot to subscribe to our list? If it is easy, can we change that? Also, it looks like about 67% of spam emanates from Taiwan, 23% from the US and 3% from China. China is in third place! So a huge amount comes from Taiwan and there might be a way to detect that and move it to a spam folder. Of course, the usual spam-detection schemes can also help. Mike
