Wow, hadn't read the list for a while, and now I stand aghast.

Not good enough, here's why:
A new subscriber joins in, sends us a little email, and with a signature
containing the very string you mention. That individual doesn't know any
better (I wouldn't expect *anyone* to know any better unless you told them).
A new subscriber forwards a message from another mailing list, which he
believes is relevant to this one. The message may contain that string,
because in the real world no one has to be bothered with such lame
impediments.
Change the software back! Personally I'd use ezmlm as a mailing list
manager. I have no idea what awesome features this mailing list manager
possibly has that's causing you to stick with it.
On a side note looks like a machine on consensus.com has been attempting to
send me mail, but they're DNS configuration is all messed up.

I have tcp-env verifying the hostnames prior to letting it through to my
qmail setup. Normal spam filter.
