See these: MDP> http://gmane.org/tmda.php MDP> http://gmane.org/spam-control.php I think you have probably touched on the most serious security issues with a newsgroup, so is there a downside to using Gmane? If not, why can't it be setup and give it a try? I have unsubscribed & resubscribed to this list almost yearly, because with the high volume, I'm afraid to go on vacation! I treally wouldn't affect the existing list, right? so those that wanted to could stay subscribed, and if you want to use Gmane, that would be another option, right?? I think options are a good thing! -- Paul Using The Bat! v2.04.7 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 (avast! version number) (avast!
