So if there is a mailing list anybody can subscribe to, then somebody can subscribe an alias which would point at [EMAIL PROTECTED] If the alias also removes all "x-no-archive: yes" headers, the mailinglist gets archived at mail-archive.com. This could happen without the knowledge of the list maintainer and the other subscribers. Two questions: 1) What happens if two or more such aliases get set up for the same list. Does your archive check for duplicate messages? 2) Does it sound like an impossible suggestion, to try to notify a list owner whenever an archive for a new list gets started at mail-archive.com? This way, a nondesirable archiving could be tracked down. Thx, Mate --- Mate Wierdl | Dept. of Math. Sciences | University of Memphis
