Thank you for your clarification.  I had no idea - why would I? - that 
signing up for a mailing list would generate all these individual e-mails 
coming in from people, as opposed emails coming from the list itself.  Had 
I known that - given that I am using my ISP's spamblocker software - would 
have never signed up.

Using Mailman - as opposed to some of the other popular list programs has 
turned into a giant headache.  I understand that it is complex and has many 
parameters, but I did not think it would cause so much trouble.  Now I 
understand why our subsribers are so unhappy with it.

I am signing off this list with apologies, I did not intend to trouble 
you.  I am also immediately starting our migration off Mailman.

BTW, I participate in a number of mailing lists on Yahoo and never had the 
this happen to me.  All the mail - whether individual or digest form - come 
from a single source, which is enabled on my spamblocker to get through.
