This is what I do, too. Subscribe to the list and set all but one to
nomail. I can POP my mail from the other account & post from any of
the other ones. Most a/cs won't let you post if your address is not
in their subnet, hence setting the other accounts to nomail.

Actually, both has happened. The earlier Daewoo dealer sent both to the
list and directly to my account. The 'INCREDIBLE money' idiot just
spammed to the list.

All I can do to counter it is to somehow filter on the subject header ...

OBVanagon: I got new wishbone bushes for my '88 from JustKampers yesterday
& brought my tools into work in the van to change them during lunch break.
Bummer - the old ones are welded to the wishbone by their metal collars!
