| We agree completely. We've both just shared our positive experiences
| with the list in the hope that some will find them useful, and yet
| others will perhaps tell us about their solutions.

I was just out of town for four days. Upon my return, 'jpr' had 438 new
messages.  Only four of them were spam, thanks to my use of spamassassin,
which is of course free.   

As to Mark's per-message size limit, that's done by my MTA, smail.
Smail drops in as a sendmail replacement, but you don't need a manual to
parse most of what's in its config file; quite clear what the following
this does, n'est-ce pas?

	max_message_size = 1.5M
