[Sigia-l] a plea regarding the list archive & junkmail

[David R. Austen]

Hello, Andrew and all:

For those already beset by junk mail, I have recently purchased
ChoiceMail, an excellent spam-killing system.

As the owner of one's own domain name, it is possible and very
convenient to create numerous e-mail addresses so that any or many can
eventually be killed when the spam becomes overwhelming.


Best regards,

David Austen
