Ok, it seems that some "responsible" person (for now) subscribed some
lists to a list on a listserv on the internet called gnet.  Don't ask me
what  it has  to  do with  my  lists, but  can someone  tell  me who  is
responsible for this, and how, based on the following information, can I
stop postings from being sent to my lists, please?

You have been added to mailing list [log in to unmask]
 
Further administrative requests regarding this list should be sent to
 
    Internet:   [log in to unmask]
    BITNET:     LISTSERV@bitnetnodename
 
The following commands can be handled automatically by
 [log in to unmask]:
 
    SIGNOFF             - to remove yourself from the list
    REVIEW              - to get a list of subscribers
    QUERY               - to get the status of your entry on the list
    SET NOMAIL          - to remain on the list but not receive mail
    SET MAIL            - to reverse the NOMAIL setting
    SET CONCEAL         - to conceal yourself from REVIEW listings
    SET NOCONCEAL       - to reverse the CONCEAL setting
    SET NOREPRO         - to prevent the list from sending you your own postings
    SET REPRO           - to reverse the NOREPRO setting
    LIST                - to get a list of mailing lists available on this host
    HELP                - to receive a help file
 
The syntax of these commands for use with the LISTSERV emulator is:
 
    SIGNOFF gnet
    REVIEW  gnet
    QUERY   gnet
    SET gnet NOMAIL
    SET gnet CONCEAL
    SET gnet NOREPRO
    LIST
    HELP

                       ** End of message I got **
 
 
   I know I  can filter this person  out, but, since the  person took so
much trouble  to cause trouble,  I would like to  get it stopped  at the
source.
 
   For now, let me assume that this person simply made a mistake, rather
than a concious decision to do  this without asking the list owner(s) of
the lists he or she has decided to flood with messages.
 
   I am *not* happy about this.
