Re: Fwd: Please confirm your email for brent@mailstation.us

I agree, but to fight the amount of spam that goes through is not easy some 
times.  The problem with mailing lists like this one is that the from line 
does NOT say it is from the redhat list but instead, the user who sent to 
the redhat list.  So they can't put that into their program to allow it to 
come through.  I don't use these type of services, but when getting around 
10,000 emails a day and only about 1,000 are valid for me, it is real tempting.
