Chris,
I'm sorry to hear that the smut-mail caused you some grief at work, but
I'm also glad to hear that my contention about email through employers
systems is a valid one! Perhaps some of the nay-sayers and the
"delete-sayers" get an actual, real-life example of the havoc
this stuff can raise.
Ric
PS-- actually I'm not glad you received it...just glad for the
confirmation of my point.

doesn't filter spam.
I agree with Ric at this point and I'm now very
much in favor of closing the list...
The E-mail this morning was WAY too much...
I have been in favor of keeping the list open and just hitting the delete
key when a little spam popped up. But that message has changed my
mind for good. Our policy at work is that we are not allowed to
receive offensive (and they give the benefit of the doubt) abusive or
degrading emails. When that smut ad cam to my in-box, I was forced
to report this to my employer to keep my job. That kind of smut CAN
NOT be sent to my email here at work. If there is another instance
I will be forced to unsubscribe.
Whatever it takes, filters or a closed list we need it stopped right
away
Thank You
Chris Smith
