I'm not asking for any leeway, OT = OT, my point was made, that being some 
people seem to think some unrelated to MailScanner crud is OK, where other 
unrelated topics are not.

No one said remove yourself, I said filter me, if your email providor can 
not do that, then I think it's time to maybe use your own service where 
you have direct control.

Sure you can, if you know how to work filters, look in the message ID, I 
only use this client in this group.

rubbish, Spam = unsolicited commercial or broadcast email, you voluntarily 
subscribed to this list, therefore you accept any and all posted content 
from the list, if you so desire not to, then you filter said person.
