You could try setting list headers to SUBSCRIBE=Owner,Confirm. That will at least give you an opportunity to screen any hotmail.com subscribers. And if, as your message suggests, he is using his personal name at all times (Otherwise, how could you identify him?) that would be a way of screening him. A more drastic method would be to filter out all future hotmail.com subsription requests. -- Dr. W.
