yes I saw this too.  However, I was under the impression that it was a 
service provider solution....

anyway, as of this moment, we are not too heavily inundated with spam at 
work (in many ways this is an RMIT wide problem too)
on the home front, it is frustrating (at least from a frustration of 
service point of view) but at this point I am able to put up with it...

When private email lists get onto spam lists, then something has to be 
done about it because the problem quickly escalates, particularly when 
one member of the list confirms that the email address is valid and the 
address gets passed around into multiple lists.
