That's a great idea...but unfortunately, I don't think it's a particularly efficient idea for large lists. Personally, I don't have the time or the inclination to actively file 700 such agreements (talking about just one of my lists, ACCESS-L). When I say "actively file", I mean, every time someone subs or unsubs, I have to deal with it. ACCESS-L's set Notify= No. It's simply more than I want to deal with. On the other hand, I've had pretty good luck with spamming...I have most of my lists set either Send= Private or * Send= Editor * Editor= Owner,(listname) I think I forward only 5 or 6 messages/week back to the list, and I <have> caught at least one spam in the net. While this wouldn't stop someone from subscribing, spamming, and unsubbing, at least it makes them go through one extra step. Just my $0.02...Nathan
