Well, I like the anti-spam  feature a lot (though from  what I can tell  it
hasn't actually blocked *us* from  a spam yet  ... all our lists are either
confidential or set  for private  posting).  I  have  noticed, though, that
LISTSERV  seems to be inconsistent  on how it treats multiple notifications
of a spam:  sometimes when a second  alert comes in,  I won't hear about it
(as postmaster), but instead LISTSERV will log a line like this:
 
> 9 Aug 1995 00:26:43 -> Already registered as a spammer, no action taken.
> 9 Aug 1995 00:36:15 -> Already registered as a spammer, no action taken.
 
Other times, quite often in fact, LISTSERV  sends me multiple announcements
of the spam.  A good example is today's funny spam attempt, attached below.
 
Does anyone know why the difference?  Thanks,
 
Norm
