What an excelent opportunity for all those chain-letters folks...
I think that it's a good idea to filter messages from some addresses
(like sales AT mailloop DOT com) and not let them infiltrate in this list.
The same thing with chain-letter and other kinds of bulls??t authors.
I don't think that a lot of DJGPP-related people will use Mailloop to
post their messages in list.
