Hi all, Here's an idea: why not make the list closed? So that only subscribers can post to it? The bugtraq list uses a list manager software that does the equivalent of callback when a person subscribes. It sends a request for confirmation of their subscription to the new member. If no confirmation is received with X days, the new member is removed and the subscription was never effective. Looks like the noise/signal ratio is growing on this list, it is getting close to 50% now. Regards, Yves Lepage
