The "moderated" in the subject line does mean that the user is not subscribed but *not* all messages from unsubscribed users carry it. The only guaranteed way to detect a message from a non-subscribed user is to look at the "Delivered-To" headers. If and only if there is a "Delivered-To: moderator" header then the sender is unsubscribed. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
