[Mimedefang] Caution! Bogus antispam registry

[Ben Kamen]

the bummer is that (I'm hoping all of us here and) computer savvy people 
wouldn't fall for this - and we're the ones in the channel for this information. 
People like the rest of my family aren't "in the channel" and need this info the 
most. When I forward them stuff like this.. they don't read it.. (well, my 
sister does and then floods me with questions)...

(sigh)
