However, del * [log in to unmask]   will work.  It will do it for all the lists
you own, so if you own other lists than the psyche-* group, be careful.  It
also works on all lists for postmasters.  I use it regularly as postmaster
to zap spammers who've managed to sign up for list.  All of our lists
now require confirmation, but some spammers have caught on to that.  Of course
those with phony addresses just give me a reader full of bounces.  o-(
