Thanks for the reply. I wish that there was an easier way to accomplish
what I want and that is to avoid having bad addresses subscribed to my
list as well as people forging subs to my lists. I want to continue
approving subscriptions but I don't want to deal with a questionnaire. I
wonder why there isn't the option of By Owner, Confirm. I also wonder
why if this isn't a valid option why doesn't the LISTSERV complain when I
PUT my list header back.
However I did find a workaround. I changed the Validate header to All,
Confirm which isn't exactly perfect either. Now when people send in a
subscription request they are asked to confirm their request prior to it
being sent to me for approval which is a good thing. The undesired
affect is that now I must confirm all commands to my lists which is a
pain. But it is a trade off I am willing to make in light of the fact
that my lists have been inundated with people forging subscription
requests.
