This morning I had to go thru several very inappropriate postings to the
APO-L mailing list.  Is there any way that a filter can be put into place
to stop some of these postings (perhaps based on subject, sending hostname/
domain name, etc)?  Some will get thru, but most could be stopped.

These repeated postings are a waste of many student's valuable time, a waste
of campus/corporate computing resources, and just plain junk.  If these
products were of any value to the consumer, they would not have to make such
ridiculous claims and spam many internet mailing lists in an unsolicited manner.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
