I think it's a matter of which e-mail servers you use, rather than the
operating system you run your client on. The pop server I use, from
AT&T Broadband, filters out most spam from my e-mail. Their smtp
server, for sending mail, once bounced my message to the list because
thebarn.com was using a multi-hop open relay. See more info at
http://dsbl.org/.
It's been a long time since I heard anyone call Windows a nice
operating system. I use Mac OS X. :)

Other than some occasional spam, I think ALL my messages have been
accepted
and delivered.
Thanks for your service Russell.

Actually the list software (ecartis) is much
better than the old one.
It keeps track of no deliverable address and will either put
them into vacation status or drop them if the address is no
longer valid.
If you were dropped for the list is was probably a problem on
your end.
As far as SA goes I looked through the logs and yes due to a dir
permission problem it was not filtering messages. This has been
corrected.
As far as the lost message I'm not sure what happened there but I'll
look at the log.
NOTE one side affect of spam filters is they sometimes get it
wrong and
incorrectly tag something as spam. Since those messages are
not sent to
the list (for obvious reasons) that might be a reason for a non
delivered message.
Since thebarn.com is what I use to manage all my mail I spend quite a
bit of time making sure it does it's job... this includes all of the
mailing list currently hosted there.
I would be interesting in hearing what you think should be
done to make
it "suck" less.
