The filters are IN YOUR OWN header.  Add them if you want.....but few are
repeat offenders, so I consider it pretty much a waste of time, except for
the mainline big spammers.  And, if you have your list set for
review=editor,(listname), then VERY few spammers will ever get anything
thru....and even more sure if you require confirmation on subscriptions.
Just not worth the spammers' time to do that.

As far as Eric's procedures that are appropriately not made public, even if
he has a list of filters in there (who knows?), I'm sure he has enough spam
sources to not need any more.


cheers
