I'm not running the technet but are affected just
as bad as all of us.
I know that there are some organizations in the USA that tries to
maintain an anti spam register and that many mailing list systems
such as the Major Domo can use these register files to kill the
spam-post.
-The spammers are however very good att trying to avoid  being
cut out by these filters.

-But I'm sure something could be done. -It will be interesting to hear
from the list operators what they think.

Regards

Per Viklund
