Trudy,
This is a very common method for people who are angry with the list
rationale/ethos, moderators, or some listmember to use to get even and cause
trouble. Be thankful it has only been two illegal signups thus far; it could
have been much worse.
May I suggest that if this happens in the future, that the *first* thing you
do right away is go to the website where the offending list's messages
derive from and where you can subscribe and unsubscribe to that list.
Immediately enter the Recoznet2 address with a request it be unsubbed. You
can do this at the first whiff of trouble and miss the fun of annoyed
subscribers on your list as well as the clogging of *your* resources with
superfluous messages.
You may need to do this several times until you outlast your antagonist.
Your other protection might be to filter addresses and for every address
this list is subscribed to, set up filter in your email software to bounce
back the mail coming from the offending site.
Good luck,
Suzie
