I just used this method to subscribe a member of this group to my Day of the Dead group. Please, that person, just delete the mail and let it expire (unless you really want to join, of course). I just did this to show how easy it was.

This is the code I am talking about:
 
 <form method="get" action=""http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/Day_of_the_Dead">http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/Day_of_the_Dead">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffcc">
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2" align="center">
      <em>Subscribe to Day_of_the_Dead</em>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <input type="text" name="user" value="enter email address" size="20">
    </td>
    <td>
      <input type="image" border="0" alt="Click here to join Day_of_the_Dead" 
       name="Click here to join Day_of_the_Dead"
       src="">
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr align="center">
    <td colspan="2">
      Powered by&nbsp;<a href="">groups.yahoo.com</a> 
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
</form>
 
This is for the Day of the Dead group, just substitute "cia-drugs" for "Day_of_the_Dead" and you are all set. So you don't even have to be a Yahoo member or log onto the web server or anything. I could subscribe anyone I wanted to any group with this method. The only way of keeping people off is for the moderator to have it set up where he has to approve memberships and not to approve those that seem dubious for some reason. So Amazon.com would have no control over this, and no liability either, and in addition, there is no great mystery either and nothing at all sophisticated about this.

All one has to do to subscribe an e-mail address is to take the invitation html code from any group, substitute the name of the group you want to subscribe to, and publish it as an html file on your own computer using Windows Notepad, and then type in any e-mail address you want and send it in. It is easy a falling off a log.

Interesting. There has been no activity from the address but some times it grabs my outgoing mails and then presents them to the list. ship-confirm is moderated so they don't go directly to list and I generally do not let post. I have known for awhile that it was redirecting my emails but hvae been busy. Strange.

The only reason to allow that address to be
subscribed is forensics.

The way to subscribe that address would be to
forge a subscription with insider amazon.com
priveleges or by very sophisticated hacker
spoofing.

Any legitimate mail for that address would qualify
as spam for the list. Only illegitimate mail for that
address would qualify, either sending or receiving.

I think amazon.com would be more capable of
doing the required forensic work than we would.
