I have one mailing list that requires a completed application to join. The topic of the list is fireworks. The primary purpose of the application is to screen out folks who have mischievous intent. I do keep the applications on file. No one has complained that they've been spammed... other than occasional address harvesting and worms. I do not use scheduled purges. This list is fairly low profile. Most new subscribers hear about it through other fireworks organizations. - murr -
