Yeah you're right, I was thinking the exact same thing a while after I posted that. Maybe it was a correct name in the context used, but, I still think "Santa" is a really misleading name for a mailer, and not to mention that a mass mailer identifying itself as "Santa mailer" in the headers is asking to be send directly to spam. Anyway, I was wrong. > Then, 11 arguments????
