Some other things that will help: When someone tries to subscribe to the list, send them a confirmation email. Force them to respond to the confirmation in order to subscribe. Only allow those that are subscribed to post messages to the list. Spammers won't go through that much trouble just to get spam sent to the list. You'll still be liable to receive spam from spammers using the email address of someone already subscribed. Hopefully that won't be a huge problem though... -- Jeff Weston (Sir Toby) -- Rule Date: 2003-04-22 15:25:19 GMT
