Sounds like Al McClure may ahve adopted the same spam blocker that my Rev 
friend has.   I and many others may be forced to adopt one similar. 

Spam blockers  work several ways.  One subscription spam blocker that a 
preacher friend of mine uses, sends an email reply to every "new" email 
address received asking "who they are and why" they wish to be added to his 
recipient list. 

If a live person respondes to the email, then the Rev gets to see it, and 
future emails go through immediately.  If not, the email remains simply 
remains blocked, and will be deleted in 72 hours. 

When I got the "Who are  you letter" from his spam blocker, I wrote a short 
note, and got my usual warm responce from the Rev.  He said that his 
software was now blocking upto 5,000 spam mails per week.  As I am running 
about 200 spam emails per day, (spams that make it threw my  anti spam junk 
mail software),   I have been thinking of purchasing the same antispam 
software that he has.  At least that way those spam with spoofed and fake 
return emails offering me larger breasts and bigger male parts, etc
would never waste my time deleting them.  I am running 70 to 80 percent 
spam, and it is becoming quite a waste, and worse as it camiflages the good 
stuff.
