You could send bugs to a different address (I might argue that the user list isn't where they should go anyway, but that's a matter of preference really); i.e. set up a new list or create an alias for the devel list such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Also, bouncing spam is a bad idea, because it lets the spammers know > there's a live person at that address. If you're really concerned about that, you could send the bounces to /dev/null. But I woudn't worry about that; many spammers use bad addresses, and even if they didn't if they send the list another mail it will just bounce too. It's unlikely that they'll make the effort to subscribe just to spam the list (though I have seen this happen once or twice on one list I've been subscribed to for about 4 years). -- --------------------------------------------------- Derek Martin | Unix/Linux geek [EMAIL PROTECTED] | GnuPG Key ID: 0x81CFE75D Retrieve my public key at http://pgp.mit.edu _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnumatic.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
