If you pay for the Netcruiser account, do you get the shell account
automatically?  What I'm thinking is that if you put a filter on an
abuser's ix address, can he get around it by simply logging in through
his shell account and sending from there?  The abuser might not even be
aware of how Listserv filters work, he might just randomly use his shell
account and unwittingly bypass the filter.  If this is true, then it
might be wise to set a filter with a wildcard in nectom addresses, e.g.
 
   Filter= badboy@*netcom.com
