I've had a lot of bogus requests in the last two weeks to join my
list.  It makes me glad I have a restricted list.  Is there any way
to tell from the header who is sending these requests?  They could
probably be charged with multiple counts of aggravated harassment.
Here is my latest bogus request:
 
        ADD UNIVPD-L [log in to unmask] Edward Hales
 
John H. Jordan
UNIVPD-L listowner                                ///
