Due to a huge number of these happening, I would like to formally request a new feature be added to the next version of Listserv. Problem: A method of mailbombing in which a person's address is faked and is subscribed to a large number of lists is becomming common. This causes * the targeted person's email address to be mailbombed, at a minimum with confirmation messages, and at worst, with actual posts from the lists. * an above average number of people sending requests to unsubscribe to a list address (rather than the server) since they didn't necessarily know it is a Listserv list that they are subscribed to. * an increased amount of work by the list owners in removing these people. * an increased amount of work by the Listserv maintainers in removing the targetted address from all lists on that server. people. What is wanted: Listserv has implemented and "anti-spam" feature in which the server looks for the same message which is sent to multiple lists. I would like to see the same type of checking implemented when an address is subscribed to multiple lists within a set amuont of time. Off the top of my head, I would suggest that good defaults would be to reject subscription to more than 5 lists within 24 hours. To be truely effective, this would *not* notify the person of the rejection more than 1 time. Eric: is this possible? Humbly submitted, -------------------------- Listserv Manager [log in to unmask]
