Robert Millan mentioned ASK, which I hadn't heard about before, but it also makes me think of TMDA. I'd really like to add something like this, perhaps including a subscription option (likely via a web confirmation). We'd put a governor on the confirmation offerings so forged virus bombs wouldn't inundate the innocent. I'm beginning to think that I may have to put out a Mailman 2.2 and if so, this feature would be a good candidate. -Barry _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
