Subject: my party
Subject: printer ink
Subject: viagra
Subject: celebs
Subject: copy dvd
Subject: money from home
Subject: background check

The subject's that contain any variation of those words are held for
approval, so even if you were to send an email with the Subject of "I
want to copy dvd's of celebs using viagra while i work from home!"

it wouldn't get deleted, just held for manual approval by me, michele,
matt warden or dean mah.(although would be marked off topic ;)

There are also about 100 domains that are held from posting to thelist
as they've been used for spams in the past.

Any other questions, feel free to ask :)
