  According to the Anon Administrator, all mail to Anon subscribers from
'LISTSERV' are automatically sent to the postmaster.  So, even if they
fake an address to subscribe, they will never get any mail from LISTSERV
lists anyway.  However, they can post anonymously.
 
 Has anyone running LISTSERV 1.8b set the filter_also config variable?
If so, can you drop me a note and let me know where it is set?  I can't
seem to find that info in the docs.
 
Much appreciated....
