Please realize: There's a pretty strong argument for blocking all access
to ANY kind of mailing list to anyone using Outlook in any capacity.

On a typical day I receive on the order of 4000 spam messages that
likely largely result from bozos on this and other mailing lists that
use "Microsoft Outhouse" as their mailer that then get hit by some
mailer virus that forwards every email address it can find to everyone
it can find.

It strikes me as ludicrous incompetence for anyone to use Outlook,
period.

It's a giant virus vector, and I think it's silly that mailing list
administrators continue to put up with people using it, because it
_directly_ leads to security disasters that inconvenience everyone.

Rules of the Evil Overlord  #98. "If an attractive young couple enters
my realm,  I will carefully monitor  their activities. If  I find they
are  happy   and  affectionate,  I  will  ignore   them.   However  if
circumstance  have forced them  together against  their will  and they
spend  all their  time  bickering and  criticizing  each other  except
during the  intermittent occasions when  they are saving  each others'
lives  at  which point  there  are hints  of  sexual  tension, I  will
immediately order their execution." <http://www.eviloverlord.com/>
