What maintenance? I use the Sender: header for filtering since PMMail has
a filter function (v1.5?) and I have no problems with it. Some newer
announcement services which seem to use some obscure Windows software for
sending out their mails are a bit harder to filter than Majordomo or
Listserv lists.

Strange. I have never heard of an ISP doing such a thing so far...
