The only time that I'd even *consider* subscribing a [log in to unmask] would be to add a _second_ subscription for a known, confirmed, subscriber who's set to noreview, who requested the nospam address. It would have to be the exact same address as the original subscription, with the "spamtrap" word added after the @ sign, and would always be set to nomail. I still don't know whether I'm going to do this, but I'm not real clear on why this is similar to a user who subscribes and starts bouncing because they've never been confirmed by Listserv. Thanks for the chance to clarify. :-) Maureen :-) HWY61-L
