Please tell me how I can stop the huge quantities of SPAM that comes to &LISTNAME-request@&MYHOST (i. e. [log in to unmask] in the case of my list). Is there a way I can configure the list header so that messages sent to &LISTNAME-request@&MYHOST by non-subscribers are rejected and sent a form letter based on a template that, preferably, I can alter? Postings direct to Alpine-L from non-subscribers are currently rejected, but not messages sent to &LISTNAME-request@&MYHOST Thus, I get a terrific amount of spam at Alpine-L-request. Thanks. Harry Dewey, listowner, Alpine-L
