Brenda, I think we should be a little more careful how we make statements.
Your first post indicated the LIST was getting SPAM. Then, when
someone asked, you said it's coming to you as List Admin. To state it
correctly, the List is not getting ANY spam. You, as the Admin, are seeing
attempted Spams, those that the new mail system is sending to you to
accept or refuse.

The reason I write this is that there are many non-List-Admins on this
List and they might get the wrong idea. Just remember what has been
said to us probably hundreds of times over the years, Rootsweb catches
the Spam. Let's not frighten our subscribers.

George
