On that note, Eric, have you considered having a password feature to allow
people to signoff when their sysadmin changes their mail routing info? I
think as more companies expand and add email/net capabilities, we'll see
more random reconfigurations of mail addresses with aliases, which means
hell for the listowners. Just a unique password in the welcome message that
the subscriber can then forward back to the listserv to signoff from a
different address (can be used to unsub only, followed by notification
message).

Just a thought,
