Indeed, the only thing which the apparent senders have at fault is
being associated with people who have the bad taste to use a Microsoft

We are filtering something like 400-500 Spam and virus messages A DAY

valid recipients of the ipsec mailing list (and e-mail address on the
white list) that are getting through.
