[IHPVA-board-formal] google groups

[Brian Wilson]

As far as I am concerned on issues of this nature only one objection
is enough, thanks for the quick reply.

I think I will put greylisting in place and see how that goes, it's
very easy to turn that on.
If that is not enough I will consider your offer.

Thanks

Brian
