I'm not sure I'm happy with the implication that all my email is spam... |

newton.random-chaos.org.uk happens to be my primary mail-server, and a |
| 10 |
secondary for gentoo.org |

My thanks go to James for saving me all of the typing for pointing out |
| 13 |
relay-2.gentoo.org == secondary mx for gentoo == |

I'd love to implement anti-spam, in fact newton was the box that |
| 17 |
trialled the attachment blocking that's now in place. rest assured that |

anything that will be implemented will effect me personally first. |

Please bare in mind that any anti-spam will need to be 100% reliable at |
| 20 |
catching spam, with no false positives... as you can imagine, the side |
| 21 |
effects of missing an email could be potentially catastrophic. |

Developers are always free to filter their own mail, that's their |
| 24 |
prerogative... :) |
