OK, I just got my second notice from Speakeasy, since the same
problem happened again. I doubt they will continue to be as forgiving.
Any chance of getting a build that can somehow prevent this? QUICKLY?
Ideally, it would be nice to have the option to 1) simply do not
respond to messages from non-subscribers (except for "subscribe" and
"subscribe digest") AND 2) do not echo the incoming message. But #2
alone would help a bit.
Judging by the LetterRip log files, my LR machine is now just being
used as a huge SPAM engine:
None of the following users are subscribed to my lists...I suspect
it's ALL spam...and at the rate of 4-6 messages per SECOND, it's a
bad bad situation to be in.

I just got off the phone with my ISP (Speakeasy), who were about
ready to cut off my service...here's why:
1) Spammer sends an unsubscribe request to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
spoofing the From: header to be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
2) Spammer also includes spammy nonsense in the body of the message.
3) LetterRip receives the message, and responds to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with "You are not subscribed to this list"
_AND_ all the spammy crap that was posted with the unsub request.
4) Speakeasy calls me, and threatens to shut me off because my
mailing list software is being hijacked to send spam.
Is there some way I can modify LetterRip to NOT echo the original
message back with the response? Otherwise, I'm going to have to
abandon LetterRip altogether, since LR has _already_ sent mail to a
spamtrap address...
