[Deptheads] Spam blocking from list?

[Tanya Aldrich]

I think what Eric is saying is that the dept list is filtered, but say abc at strategicon.net usually is found as a link on the site and all mail from such links are mail forwards (tparry at strategicon being one of the exceptions). Therefore, strategicon's mail server is not likely filtering anything; it's left to the destination server (i.e. Yours). Filtering for spam before forwarding is a bad idea.

I will make an effort to encode all the mail links to hopefully slow down spam bots.
