I was thinking of email with a command SUBSCRIBE listname name name sent to a [log in to unmask] address, which SoBig cannot do. I forgot about the specialized "-request" addresses as we don't use any of them, except listname-search-request for INDEX subscribers, for the very simple reason that we have enough trouble keeping people straight on the difference between the list address and the LISTSERV address, and that simple listname-request is not the command address without confusing them with the special -request addresses which are specific commands in themselves. Hadn't thought of it before, but this has the advantage that bugs like SoBig won't find such addresses to spoof. ;-) Douglas Winship [log in to unmask]
