It was Almond and Albert's posts from the 18th Sept that were 'stuck' -
neither of them should have been in the spam folder, but the SPAM wasn't put
in the spam folder.
I know I've switched off using the spam folder at all on other lists, but
can't see the option on this one?
I have yet to see ANYTHING in the spam folder that was actually spam ;)
