I had signed up 6 or 8 months ago (when I was interested in PHP) but now all of my mail bounces. I have never spamed, but some moron had at my provider about 4-5 months ago, and I get punished for it. As far as spam on the lists, maybe it is just me, but I only see maybe 3 or 4 per 1000 messages. I live with that. (Now if I can just get the Casino's to stop spamming me via SnailMail, that would be nice!)
