Brilliant!  Seeing as he's asking about doing the filtering in Gmail
(implying it's use for his own posting and viewing the list) that would
work splendidly for him!  Or not.

Of course you're not likely to see this message either since I and many
folks on here post from gmail.

Spam comes mainly from Google Groups, not as much from Gmail in my
experience.
