THAT'S IT!

I double-filter my email. Usually it goes to agora and is forwarded to
gmail so by the time I get it it's been through spamassassin and
whatever gmail's running.  This has nearly eliminated spam from my
inbox.  Then, starting yesterday, I started getting all that random
spam that's not been coming through for months.  It coincided with the
change of headers on this list.

List admin, I hate to tell you, but the changes might've been more
than cosmetic.  I'm not good enough to explain how, but I think when
things got changed someone opened up a backdoor into our inboxes.
Have others been getting bogus e-cards, too?
