sure. But ``black lists'', SPF and other IP-address-based
things aren't relevant to this; they can't be used (on

inspect the content of the messages. It is
misunderstanding this that leads to the kind of trouble
Marc describes.

Two economists are walking along the street. The first says, ``Look, there's
a £50 note on the pavement!'' The second replies, ``Don't be silly. If there
were, somebody would already have picked it up.'' (ancient economics joke)
