A little :-).

If you send mail to someone at IBMMAIL they do turn off those
messages on a case by case basis, I seem to recall. Problem is that
this becomes a pain to keep up with as I have many people there going
on/off my lists all of the time, and in any case, 3 people who they
turned off some time ago have somehow been turned back on again ...
*sigh*.
Another thing is that I use Mail/Mailbook (the last good non-screen
version) and the index may show "Error message from IBM" (for example),
but that can be from IBMMAIL.COM as much as from IBM.CC.SOMEWHERE.EDU,
so I select "from IBM" using ALL (as in ALL XEDIT) and then just PF2/PF9
through them making sure they are from IBMMAIL.COM ...
There's a tip :-).

All we can do is *OUR* best ... we can't do their job for them :-).
