Hi evryone
what do you think of this and how is this done ?
Is it possible to get a "confirmation" for a message before it is allowed
to be distributed by a list ?
 
 
----------#1 I got this message

Hello Jacky
 
I am Gareth Klose, and recently my school and now my email address have
been subscribed to a large number of mailing list, which we believe has
been done deliberately.
 
I was [log in to unmask] and I am now
[log in to unmask]  I am hoping that if the mail bounces the
lists will "go away".
 
I was hoping that your site kept an archive of subscribe messages, if it
does, could you track down the one claiming to be from
[log in to unmask], as the headers may allow me to locate the
source of this abuse.
 
The list that I have been subscribed to is:-
        ET-VENUS
 
I am sorry to bother you, but this is causing a great deal of concern to
me, and may render my connection useless.
 
Thanks in advance and I hope that you can help.
