It is absolutely needed. Without it we have had literally hundreds of
spammers 'subscribe' to the list and attempt to post. We still see the
attempts here daily.
Wow....they don't have a subscribe option that requires confirmation? That
eliminates a lot of spammers....but then again, some one has to read the
messages for the sign ups that fail.
The listserver at qth.net is Mailman, which does require confirmation.
Well, I guess I'm dumb as a post, or as lucky as a man with all day long pass
in a cat house, since it's hard to imagine how the spammers that visit me can't
subscribe to my lists since they can't confirm thier requests to join, since
they don't use real email addresses.
These folks that subscribe to the QTH.NET lists gotta be bold as brass to use
their own email addresses in order to get the confirmation messages.
This is so intriguing I may have to sign up on a list again and watch real close
to see how I can spam a list.
