Sfi -

How practical would this possible solution be:

Send a note to majordomo at ansteorra.org that says
"who elfsea".  You'll get back very quickly a list
of all the addresses on the Elfsea List.  Then you
could de-filter those hotmail addresses on the
list, and these "bleep you very much" messages
would stop being posted to the list.

but do you mean that you will block out anybody who uses the "Hotmail" provider,

Arabella's internet provider, then I suppose she could always send the post to
the Elfsea list and then I could forward it automatically to you without all the
