Welcome to the list, but please don't post test messages. It encourages others to do so as well. [On the flip side, anyone who finds your test messsage in the list archives should also find this one and perhaps not do the same thing.]

Somebody did a great work to filter spam out of this list. Hats off. The mesage with "ignore it" in the subject is the first candidate for spam. On the other side I would never get a confirmation that it works. I swear I started with a real message.
