Currently this isn't networked. The problem is that if you network it, you may be looking at hundreds (and, in a year, possibly thousands) of redundant alerts. For a spam, this is legitimate, because of the cost of the spam to the LISTSERV site (not just the hardware but all the manpower wasted answering flames) is so enormous that there's basically nothing short of sending a spam yourself that would end up costing you less. Even if it were to take a thousand alerts to block the spam, it would still be cheaper than letting it through. Plus, spam is time critical, so you really want all the alerts you can get from as many high-speed servers as possible. A spoofed subscription on the other hand doesn't cost all that much for the LISTSERV site, and if it takes you a few hours to cancel it, so what. The victim will be flooded with Majordomo mail for weeks to come anyway. Again, my hope is that someone will be sued for this and that this will make the headlines, and then people will stop. Unlike spam, it's a simple legal case, and I can certainly see how shops like AOL or CompuServe would offer free legal support to establish a precedent. It must not be fun for them when the victim is one of their customers. Eric
