|Might as well be equivalent to subscribing as anonymous. The only way to |actually control this is to have subscription by owner, and for security |reasons, validate=all would be helpful to to prevent somebody from |spoofing your address to sign either themself or other people to your |list. Another options exists in order to reduce the effect of spoofed email subscriptions (where CONFIRM has not been enabled): * DEFAULT-OPTIONS= NOMAIL with appropriate prose in the WELCOME file (as to how to turn ON distributions -- this then becomes both a CONFIRMATION mechanism and a LISTSERV driver's license). From time-to-time, you could issue the LISTSERV(R) command: Q listname WITH NOMAIL FOR *@* and see who is currently not receiving your list distributions (assuming they are NOT using the WWW int'f). /Pete
