screwing around with such low-fi gear like wireless, instead of just doing the

properly done. Sometimes it's useful to subscribe with a
"nomail"<BR>> option, so you can post from a secondary address, or read the
web and post<BR>> from yur address.<BR><BR>Of course, I read it as posting
with no subscription, which was totally wrong.<BR><BR>Sorry! Too much spam
lately!<BR><BR>Oh and this option is not available under majordomo, only
listserv. Well, <BR>there maybe other mail servers around but they are the
ones I see. <BR>I just went through exactly this rigmarole 2 hours ago with
the <BR>extropians list. They have a seperate list for aliases, as they
<BR>run majordomo and it won't do this. I really like majordomo but
<BR>listserv does have that function.<BR><BR><BR><BR>> Spammers would have
to go thru the subscribe&confirm routine to get thir<BR>> cr*p
posted.. <BR>> <BR>> Some cheeky spammers now are starting to
subscribe, post, unsubscribe..<BR>> Last one that did that to me has been
sh*tlisted. ;-)<BR><BR>yeah but they use spoofed addresses don't they?
<BR>Some lists have confirmation steps. Good idea.<BR><BR>But this list has
yet to have that problem, I think.<BR><BR>Dwayne<BR><BR>--<BR>To unsubscribe,
