This is only a wild guess, but possibly there is a "broken" e-mail worm that is trying to send itself out to a group of harvested addresses that includes your list's -join or -subscribe address and the headers in the message it sends are run together without CRLF line breaks or with leading white space that makes them look like one long header. It seems that your list already requires approval for new subs, and probably the best you can do is discard these and not worry about it. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
