I really do second whoever suggested using [dragaera] in the subject line. [List Name Here] seems standard practice, and it helps to separate out the spam.

I've seen plenty of lists that get only a few emails a week -- a few emails a *month* -- and was expecting this to be one of them. I'm happy it isn't.

The best you can do with AOL is make a list of addresses you *can* receive mail from, or a list of addresses you *can't* receive mail from. It isn't terribly useful. I remember when I first got online, lo these many years ago, I tried putting every single address I got spam from on the second list. Heh. Shockingly, it didn't work. Rae
