Hi Rich,
Thank you for letting me know, I expected Amazon to actually take care of
spammers and not let it be a free for all. I can definitely switch it
elsewhere, so please let me know what you have in mind.
I can let the mailman server do deliveries as well, so that's a second
option.
Best regards,
Rafael
