It is very easy to forge the From: line in email. If a spammer forges the From: line to have a user which is on your list then it will go through. This isn't really a problem that Mailman itself can solve. I've also had a few examples of a member joining, sending spam, and leaving the list very quickly. alex ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
