Lists managed using mailman do not use this. Incase the ones you have subscribed to are such ones. I personally suspect spammers do that themselves, and then load the
spambot with the correct subscriber address.
After having a look at the addresses of the spam mails I tend to agree with you that these are unlikely to be from bots.
This ensures the subscription is done by a *human* and not a bot. > Can this be introduced into the mailing lists of opensolaris.org? An RFE for the same? Please be careful to ensure this doesn't reqire web access to subscribe.
Any particular reason for this preference. Especially since this tends to be one time activity for a mailid (ofcourse I myself find administering via mails is sure convenient). regards Shiv
