The solution IMHO is a filter on the gentoo mailserver.=20 >=20 How is making the list subscriber only closing it? I'm on about 20 other mailing lists, all subscribe only and I get no spam on them. This problem has been solved long ago...there is no need to waste server processor cycles for spam filtering on lists. If people are scared that there newbies 'won't be able to figure out' hot to subscribe, I'm on some music development lists where the people on there barely even know how to use the computer for anything else other than email and can still figure it out. I'm pretty sure that anybody that uses email can figure out how to read a page, send an email and a send a reply when they get it. burton --SO98HVl1bnMOfKZd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9lHNWLq/0KC7fYbURAq0GAJ9w17LNfMholPuwGeOwiRv4zM8qDQCgmPKN TF6xFyHCzhv+a2ULDzhE1I8= =uaJW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --SO98HVl1bnMOfKZd--
