Yeah, you're right. I haven't thought of that -- such a heartless bastard, ain't I? More seriously, though, I wasn't talking about trolls, as it was spam of the clear (first) water. > Ahh... After all, not every minute you get such cuties here :-). Strangely enough, I got that spam not through the list, but directly. Well, I think it's clear already that people are getting real messages from the maillists, even though they [think] they don't want them and say they can't unsubscrbe? Hm... If you try to unsubscribe by sending a message to mailman, do you get removed immediately, or there's some form of confirmation mail sent (that gets lost in the Great Bitbucket, perhaps)? > - Yuri [SorAlx] ridin' VN1500-B2 _______________________________________________ freebsd-chat@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
