If you know the address and ban it, that will stop bounces of confirmation requests from the web subscribe CGI as the 'address is banned' response is sent back to the web browser. Also, Jon Baron's advice will help with web subscribes when you don't know what address or regexp to ban. However, in the less likely bounces of replies to mail to the list-request address case, there's not much Mailman can do. Banning won't help as there will still be an email back to the address saying it's banned. Also, any kind of header filtering won't help as that's only for posts and mail to list-owner. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
