I saw the forgotten "*" after hitting send (twice even because I hadn't
fixed this list to send to list rather than original poster -- first send
went to Scott <sigh>.

I wasn't going to go into the folly of filtering for lists based on a
subject tag. Maybe he knows it isn't the best way and this particular list
doesn't include any other headers to better identify it.

As soon as I get my phorce1.net mail server built (hosting company pi**ed
me off so I'm building my own server and colocating it at work) I'll shift
to using a different address for every list. I could do that now since I am
the mail admin at work but I'd rather set up the addresses on my own
domain(s). It will make life easier for tracking spam and virus sources.
I'm on a couple of low subscriber base lists and if I start getting viruses
to those addreses I'll be able to inform the list at large to check their
systems.

Want to convert the sysmatrix mail server from a poor Winblows server setup
to something linux/MySQL based also. Anyone out there with experience
setting up XMail give me a yell offlist. Have to set up something that
provides an easy web interface for employees to add/delete/change users and
the "all virtual - no login accounts" setup of XMail seems to be just the
ticket for ISP use.

Sorry for the subject shift -- that's what's on my mind most right now.

Gerald
