I think there's some considerable scope for confusion. I've just looked at gmane.org. It appears that they have some sort of subscription scheme that relates only to gmane (http://gmane.org/post.php: the idea is to stop use of gmane for spamming). I wonder if this is the "subscription" to which the op refers. AFAICT he should just get the one message back to confirm his "reality" - so why he's being swamped may be a gmane issue. Perhaps he could check some message headers (if he's not already done this) to see /exactly/ where they're coming from. If he's using gmane, afaics he should have no need to subscribe directly to the OOo mail list (which rather defeats the point of his gmane access anyway) in order to post to the list. Perhaps I'll try a test from gmane and see what happens...... -- various incoming sites blocked because of spam; see http://www.scottsonline.org.uk for a list and openpgp crypto key (key fingerprint 2ACC 9F21 5103 F68C 7C32 9EA8 C949 81E1 31C9 1364) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
