Reply-To: opendos AT delorie DOT com


There *is* an anti-spam filter on the mailing list.  It blocks around
99% of the spam.  What you do see on the list is the 1% that is clever
enough to get around the filter.  When I see spam getting through, if
I can see something I can use to filter it, I update the filter.

None of the lists require that you be a member; too many of them are
open to posts from new users needing help and not understanding about
how the lists work yet.

Note: replies to this mail will be rejected because of the word "spam"
so edit carefully.  And I don't read the opendos list, so either mail
me personally (dj AT delorie DOT com) or bypass the filter if you must by
mailing to postmaster AT delorie DOT com (which is also me).
