I'm sure other people have commented on this already as I see a few
replies to this thread already, but....

Do you really want such a capability?  The easiest way to get mailbombed
is to have somebody else subscribe your address to multpile e-mail lists.
LISTSERV has a way of dealing with this in the Subscription= header
keyword.  You can have lists be Open, Confirm, to prevent this sort of
problem ffrom occurring.

* Subscription= Open, Confirm

In the end, though, it may cause you more headaches than you are prepared
to deal with.
