I've already had some pretty effective spam filters (no, I don't tell here which ones.. ``the spammers are listening'') but this one again splipped, since they now used a seemingly harmless "From: ..". and -- yes: R-help received it twice, one through R-announce. I'll try to change that one at least. I've increased the filters against itcmex.com..
