I wish that there was an easier way to accomplish what I want and that is to avoid having bad addresses subscribed to my list as well as people forging subs to my lists. I want to continue approving subscriptions but I don't want to deal with a questionnaire. I wonder why there isn't the option of By Owner, Confirm. I also wonder why if this isn't a valid option why doesn't the LISTSERV complain when I PUT my list header back. However I did find a workaround. I changed the Validate header to All, Confirm which isn't exactly perfect either. Now when people send in a subscription request they are asked to confirm their request prior to it being sent to me for approval which is a good thing. The undesired affect is that now I must confirm all commands to my lists which is a pain. But it is a trade off I am willing to make in light of the fact that my lists have been inundated with people forging subscription requests. -- Namaste' Kimberly Long Houston, Texas mailto:[log in to unmask]
