This, FWIW, is turning into a crucial issue for me. We've come ot realize the subscriber lists are a corporate asset that needs protecting, so a big To Do item for me now is to get them into a system inside the firewall and off the mail list machine in the border zone, so if there's a break-in, the data is cloistered. Those of you who run corporate list servers ought to stop and think about what the loss or leakage of your subscriber lists might do to you. I sat down with my security guys last week to go over issues, and that was THE top issue in their mind...
