I can't. I don't own the list, I don't pay anything to use this list.
Sorry.

If you don't want to "listen" to me, I strongly encourage you to put me
in your personal black list.

"We" are us. Me, you, Michelle (a italian male), and everybody else. All
we can do is POLITELY ask the list maintainer (mulinux-owner, AFAIK) -
who IS NOT Michelle - to install some kind of spam filter.
In fact, they did it. AFAIK the list is being protected by spamcop -
some jerk here on my ISP got listed on SPAMCOP, and the dynamic IP
sistem allocated the blocked IP to me before yesterday (so a email from
me was rejected by mulinux).

Paying HIS bills. As evebody else.

My friend, mulinux is a FREE service. You got what you got, nothing
else. Sometimes someone, without charge, improve the list. Sometimes
not. Get over it.

No polite answer possible, sorry.

Becasue YOU DON'T KNOW how is sendind the viruses. The Outlook viruses
FAKE de FROM field, you must read the controle fields of the email to
see WHERE it reaaly cames from (message-id). After that, you must send
this data to the ISP's helpdesk, as they are the only one who can
identify the real infractor.
Sending complains to the apparent infractor will make YOURSELF a
spammer.
As a didactic example, let's consider one of that spam we got here (and
yes, I save all of them to gather data to sue someone when it will be
possible):

Have a good peek on the fields FROM and MESSAGE-ID. You will note thet
the ISP on message-id doesn't match the domain on FROM field. So the
FROM is faked.
With the domain on message-id, you get a whois and send a complain to
the contact registered.
All this work sucks? Yes, it is.
But this works, complain to evebody don't.
Think about it.
