Possible solutions: - don't allow posts unless subscribed (e.g. reject the post with a link to the subscription page) - allow postings by unsubscribed users, but let them follow the replies via one of the archive services. It's a lot of work trying to ensure that unsubscribed posters are copied - much more work than the one-time effort of subscribing. > -- > _________________________________ > > Larry I.
