pre-emptive wish: It is not only the spam to the -request address, but the spoofed FROM: field, which the auto-ack then dutifully sends a message, which also bounces. Thus, I'm requesting ;-) a FILTER-REQUEST= list definition keyword which would accept an IP range or wild-card address if found in the FROM: or RECEIVED-lines. (can you say Korean spam/scams?). /Pete At 16:17 03/29/2002 Friday, Karen Reznek wrote: >The listname-request addresses at Maelstrom have been getting a lot of >spam.
