That's draconian. For your list, Danny, it may be necessary or even ideal,
but for most that I've been on, it's severe. That's why some packages sup-
port a roster of non-subscribed addresses with posting rights.
I moderate my list, so it's no problem for me to keep records of members'
alternate addresses. All somebody has to do is write to me once from the
subscribed address to say, "[EMAIL PROTECTED] is I" and after that I'll accept
posts from there as well, if of course the post is otherwise acceptable.
But what I'd really like to know is why you forbid double subscribing. It
seems to me that that can't hurt, so what are the particulars of your list
that make double subscribing a bad thing there?
