I've seen spammers (or bots) get subscribed to lists and try to spam, then unsubscribe. However, pretty much all the lists I run these days do default moderation for new subscribers, so that I can manually catch these sorts of things before I turn off their "moderation" bit. This applies to most of the mailman-* mailing lists on python.org, as well as others elsewhere. I also tend to run lists where subscription has to be approved by the list owner. -- Brad Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
