I have a confidential list which I presumed was unknown to non-subscribers. However, this list's FILELIST appears in the public LISTSERV FILELIST and so is publicly known. Is there a way to have a confidential list which has its own FILELIST, but whose FILELIST does not appear in the publicly readable LISTSERV FILELIST? Another question: I note that if I set Notebook= Owner, then people who send in REVIEW <listname> will get the header of my list's control file. Is there a way to block the public from getting even the header of the that file (which shows the list-owners' addresses)? Also, do I understand correctly that setting Validate= All merely regulates those commands (except SUB) which alter the subscription base, and that anyone (who appears to be) sending from an authorized address can get notebook logs? Is there any way to prevent hackers who can forge originating addresses from accessing notebook logs? Thanks for any help. -- Roger Burns [log in to unmask]
