Isn't "some" better than "none"?

If a spammer wants to send email using my mail address they first of=20
all have to guess or know that "greg@hurrell.cc" is subscribed to this=20=

list, and I don't think most spammers bother doing that kind of=20
research.

If such spam did get through, and if the list-owner decided to ban my=20
from address (both of which I consider to be long shots) then couldn't=20=

this be sorted out with a quick email to the list-owner?

cheers :-)
