The only real impact is mail server load. The spam message will still get delivered to the list server, but the list software than drop the message. Of course, if the list admin has things setup that non-subscriber messages are queued for review, then it can be a burden. If something like SpamAssassin is not being used to further constrain non-subscriber messages, I would just drop all non-subscriber messages by default. I believe the mhonarc.org list admin uses SpamAssassin so reviewing non-subscriber messages is not a huge burden. --ewh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message text UNSUBSCRIBE MHONARC-USERS
