Well and good for dodoheads sending messages to your list when they're not subscribed -- BUT that doesn't keep a dodohead from subscribing himself to the list anytime he fancies and then posting to his little dodo heart's desire until you catch up with him and filet him and grill him for lunch... To firm up the defenses a little, one might also want to require moderator approval for subscription, not just for posts. That way he can't wreak havoc on your list unless you let him in the door. Of course, that still won't stop Mr. Dodo from going out and making himself over as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and subsequently fooling you into letting him come in, but at least it's a start. :-) =) Amanda ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
