RE: Graphic Arts Lamps + OT Spam Issue

Thank you, Katharine.

Regarding the spam issue, apparently, my mail server was added very
recently. The only problem is that it is one of Earthlink's main mail
servers, so this will affect a huge number of people. And although I'm
covered up in spam--I receive ~800 messages per day that are caught by my
personal spam filter--I think the blacklisting services, like SpamCop, cause
more problems than they solve.

I use the GE photoflood #2 bulbs labeled EVB. Use in a heavy-duty
porcelain socket, because although I don't find that it generates heat
in the print, the bulb does generate quite a lot of heat at its base.

Hmm, I don't know about that, but since I don't know different I guess
I'll have to take your word for it.

That's annoying, to know that I'm missing real mail. Your server must
have been blacklisted recently, maybe?
