[UCIMC-Tech] [Imc-bookkeeper] Paypal List

[Chris Ritzo]

So it was intended to really only receive email from one address- the
official paypal notification? and then of course send to a list of
folks who might login to check.

If that's still useful, perhaps we could reconfigure the list to only
take messages from that specific address.

OF course if you want to just drop the list, I'll go ahead with that.
