If someone sends you a private reply to a list post, your filter will
still pick it up unless they manually removeve the [amigactive] frpom
the subject.

You should filter on something that *only* appears in mails sent by the
list. If you do it correctly, a takeover of the list server won't
matter. I've been filtering this list on "amigactive@" in the
Mailing-List header since this list was set up on ONElist. That filter
worked with eGroups and now works with Yahoo with no modifications.

Cheers
