OT-Spam through DCML?/DCML artist Holiday Cards

[Rob Klein]

For Sigvald: My E-mail address is on DCML...-and I have not been bombarded with 
American, or any other type of spam! Per Starback has done a great job of 
protecting DCML and its members (at least from receiving problems initiated 
through DCML.

I am still receiving very few SPAM messages, as is normal. As Soeren and others 
have stated, spam filters cannot screen out ALL spam.  If they were to screen 
out enough "types" of messages to stop ALL spam, you would also lose a large 
percentage of the ordinary messages from your OWN contacts. I believe that MY 
primary provider's spam filter being so strong, is the reason my French friends 
on WANADOO cannot reach my provider provided e-mail box,- and they CAN get 
messages through to my YAHOO (web-based) e-mail box.  There are SEVERAL DCML 
members that use my YAHOO box and have given up on my other box (even though 
I've told them that I prefer private mails to the lafn box). This shows me what 
happens when a provider attempts to screen out most or all SPAM. Regular e-mail 
then becomes useless!!!

Sigvald,- Please ask your computer related questions PRIVATELY to a 
knowledgeable contact of yours in a private mail. For example, questions about 
DCML's operation could better be answered by Per.  I cannot speak for others on 
DCML, but most of us are very nice people, who would likely answer a computer 
question. The people who have already answered your virus questions and this 
last one might be good sources to go to in future.

Sorry, everyone, for this long off-topic message.  

I will again provide a Disney theme Holiday card for the group.  I hope others 
will also do this, as they (Don, Timo and others) did over the last several 
years. I can't wait to see what they look like.
