It's not a command per se, but it's a keyword setting in the header of your control file. You have to set Subscription= Open,Confirm I presume you know how to update your control file header by sending GET listname LIST (HEADER NOL PW=XXXXXXXX then edit the file, then send it back (checking your password). And when you PUT it back, DON'T have your sig file turned on, otherwise you'll wipe out all of your subscriptions! > It would be the command/switch that stopped sclsquared, and should help > me reduce the volume of errors I'm getting from bad addresses. Thanks. It would have stopped SLCSQUARED only after his postmaster blocked his account. If another spammer tries something, they might reply to your CONFIRM and resend their spam, and then -- there you are. Spammed. I like the set-up of having Send= Editor and Editor=listowner@address,(listname) . Because of this arrangement, SLCSQUAREDs spam went to me instead of my list, and I was alerted in time enough to put in a Filter to block him and foil his next step. -- Roger Burns [log in to unmask]
