I guess I had not thought about this problem until now. I'm running APACHE on OpenVMS and we don't use the wa.exe form in our confirms. To APPROVE the message: http://listserv.cuis.edu/cgi-bin/wa?OK=6006549F&L=B2K-TEST Perhaps some kind of 'rewrite' rule might help on other platforms? -Rich -- Richard A.

And most of our desktops are locked down to prevent *.exe execution from browsers. I think you would have to make a personal agreement with them. I imagine we will run into the same problem at some point. The only way around it that you can control would be to have posts and subscriptions confirmed by someone internal to your organization. -- Nate Eckstine (DoIT CityWide Webteam) City of Seattle Department of Information Technology 700 Fifth Ave. Suite 2700 Seattle, WA 98124-4709 USA Work (206) 733-9658 Fax (206) 684-0911 >>> Randy Klumph <[log in to unmask]> 10/10/2007 11:00 AM >>> Has anyone else run into this problem? It seems that their attempt to protect their users results in filtering of Listserv confirmation emails or any that contain wa.exe links. How do I explain that these are ok even though others may not be? --clipped-- I talked with a tech person today and we looked at the Spam Summary that I sent to you. She stated this district won't allow executable files in through email. The addresses that didn't come through all had tr.wou.edu/cgi-bin/wa.exe at the end of them. ------------ Regards, Randy Klumph [log in to unmask] The National Consortium on Deaf-Blindness The Teaching Research Institute 345 N Monmouth Ave Monmouth, OR 97361
