What if the message is coming from, say, gmail.com, and it's getting routed so that you're not sure which account is originating it? Do you blackhole everybody on *that* server just because there's one idiot? This is the same problem on a smaller scale. It's not clear which account is reponsible, and I believe I saw that there are other people using the same ISP who also subscribe to the list. That's why Marc is testing who the guilty party is rather than unsubscribing everyone there. -- * Greg Smith gsmith@gregsmith.com http://www.gregsmith.com Baltimore, MD
