The spam is getting in because [EMAIL PROTECTED] is an 'in effect' "open relay". Anyone can send a message to it and it 'acts like' any other open relay. So..... [EMAIL PROTECTED] needs to be 'blocked' also.... [EMAIL PROTECTED] needs to setup so that only those who are subscribed can send to it. As for "But if no one wants the mailing list," Many of us still *do* want t. The problem is that many who are subscribed *do not* want to be. Those who do not.... can't unbsub. :((( IMO, If you delete the entire list of subscribers (both arachne and arachne-digest), and then only those who want to continue to get the list go ahead and re-subscribe........... problem solved. :))) -- Glenn http://arachne.cz/ http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/aqc/
