in the LISTSERV(TM) list owner's manual, release 1.8c it says:
3. The FILTER= list header keyword. You can filter individual users
(no wildcards) from subscribing and/or posting to your list by adding
them to the Filter= list header keyword. For instance, if you have a
list called MACTALK-L and you want to discourage redistribution lists
from using the same name as your list, you can add
* Filter= Also,MACTALK-L@*
Which seems to contradict itself.. ? Can wildcards [meaning *] be
used with filter= in the header?
