No. You are jumping a cliff here.

Your personal spam problems are not a .Org problem. You got a problem
deal with it on your own personal spam solution.

Continuent did NOTHING WRONG (from a .Org perspective). They sent a
single announcement to -announce. A Moderated list. A moderator deemed
it was not appropriate. It was rejected. Exactly how it is supposed to
be.

Now please, get off your soap box, adjust your spam filter and do
something productive with your day.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
