Use of SAP-WUG list

[Michael Pokraka]

Hi Johnson,
Hiding email addresses on list postings is neither straightforward nor 
common. SAP's own listserv (listserv.sap.com) doesn't hide email either. 
One solution I use is having specific addresses for different 
lists/organizations.

I must say though, the noise level originating from wug has been very 
low compared to many others and I've never had any problems with it. 
I've used addresses on lists which I've blocked years ago which I still 
see in my logs at a rate of 3-4 a day. A good spam filter helps, so this 
is generally not a big issue in most major companies, perhaps your IT 
folks need a prod to update their spam filters...

As for those phone calls looking for workflow consultants, please refer 
them to me :-)

Cheers
Mike
