Of course, the best you can do is prevent indirect spam within the same Mailman instance. Another approach would be to set up a "suspicious header" hold on "Message-ID: <mailman." which is always added by the routines that Mailman uses to send out mail. IWBNI you could actually configure Mailman to drop such messages. -Barry _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
