        For the first question, I don't know if someone can alter
        other users' subscription options "accidentally." But if one
        sends out a forged e-mail message to the LISTSERV, it is
        possible. On my list, to prevent such unpleasant incidents,
        I have the following line in the list header:
 
        *  Validate= All,Confirm
 
        This way, each command which may change a subscription flag
        has to be confirmed by the e-mail account owner (a one-way
        forged message wouldn't complete the change).
 
        For the second question, I don't know the answer, but I'd
        like to know it too.
 
 
        Kind regards,
        Jim, CHPOEM-L list owner
