Thank you for your input, DD. If filtering works in Eudora, I suspect it will work in most mail programs. I've never tried to filter an address that is sent through a list server on behalf of an individual, but it sounds like it's no problem. I'm not a fan of heavy moderation on discussion listservs, but it just seems so susceptible to falling apart in a "no rules" environment. I ask about ATEG's management of the listserv mostly out of curiosity.
