However, I have also heard numerous complaints of this. At the same time, over the past couple of weeks, I have heard numerous complaints from people about receiving mail from lists to which they never subscribed. I myself have been a victim of this latter problem. One day, out of the blue, I suddenly started receiving mail from a list I never joined. (I know exactly which lists I joined.) I REViewed the list, and sure enough, I had "miraculously" become a subscriber somehow! Are these problems perhaps being caused by some errant LISTSERV LISTDB backbone site munging things up somehow? -Ted ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ted Manos NAD/TechRep/InfoRep BITNET : TMANOS@HARPERVM Systems & Networking Consultant Internet: [log in to unmask] Harper Community College UUCP net: !uunet!harpervm.bitnet!tmanos Palatine, IL 60067-7398 VoiceNet: (708) 980-7919 (Alpha Omega)
