On that note, Eric, have you considered having a password feature to allow people to signoff when their sysadmin changes their mail routing info? I think as more companies expand and add email/net capabilities, we'll see more random reconfigurations of mail addresses with aliases, which means hell for the listowners. Just a unique password in the welcome message that the subscriber can then forward back to the listserv to signoff from a different address (can be used to unsub only, followed by notification message).
