Those list members may have forwarded some posts to acquaintances, those 3rd parties may have clicked those links mostly by accident. I have received stuff like that quite often from people (regardless what mail manager was) Some people are clueless thus forward without pruning. Some careless, some time pressured, & some 3rd parties will click Anything. Andy C's idea is good: Track a couple of cases in apache (or other httpd) logs . Cheers, Julian -- Julian H.
