[svlug] Boxbe and mailing lists

PS - Although GMAIL does have fine spam filters... they aren't all that.  I use Google Apps and employ the Postini spam filters and they are about 60-75% more effective on my junk mail than just standard filters alone.

However I find it incredibly rude to do so when you're on a mailing list. Forcing each person who posts to the mailing list to jump through hoops to deliver it to one subscriber is a bit much, especially since this user is on gmail which already has excellent spam filters.
