Yes, but usually the undelivered message that is returned is a delivery
error message, which includes the "Instructions for Subscribing" etc from
the list.mailtpl file...
This error message states the "following subscribers" are being monitored -
they never were subscribed. I have only ever received thgis type of error
message for people actually on the list. It seems like they were able to
circumvent the subscription=by_owner? Either way, their spam never made it
over the list - the list is moderated (Send=Editor) as well and no
posts/spam were received for distribution. I only ask this out of
curiosity - if they did learn how to circumvent "Subscription=by_owner",
then does this function really protect a list? I just don't understand how
this type of error (which I received again today and will probably for the
next 8 days) can happen if they are not on the list?
Thanks for your insight,
Ray Magauran
