I saw it on radix.net.  I'm subscribed from his.com and radix.net - with
the former I wouldn't notice since it would be in the spam trap that I -
mostly - empty each day.  radix.net does some filtering, but I do get
several urgent messages from M$ a day.  On the other hand, his.com's
filters let a 409-scams through each day.  Even after deleting things, I'm
getting ~100 emails a day.

yes (I don't tend to go anywhere for long any more - too much email ;-)

I wouldn't mind helping with it, but wouldn't want to be the only one.
