Barry: LISTSERV is not broken, you're user is. On one of my hyperactive lists, the default REPLY-TO: is the poster and not the list since many folks (used to) reply back to the list, instead of the poster. I realize that isn't exactly what you are saying, but a properly configured subscriber's client, with a poster and subscriber who know what they are doing allows for this flexibility. This is especially useful for survey requests where responses should be sent to the requestor, who then summaries the results back to the list. In a perverse sort of way, the problem user slightly mitigated the dire results of SPAM by NOT directing inappropriate responses back to your list. Thus, we can save one of the two bullets we would have used ;-) Depending on your WELCOME file and other possible warnings that you may have sent, you can UNSUB the user, set to NOPOST, or REVIEW, or FILTER= them. /Pete Weiss at Penn State
