I've had a list for four years now and we rarely have a problem. The last time there was an issue was when "Olga" spammed a lot of the mail lists. Since then I've restricted posting only from subscribed addresses and we haven't had a problem. My list is also advertised on my web page, so potential spammers can easily find out about the list. The subsriber list is also not available to non-admins so no one can go in a make a spam list. frank </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00059" HREF="msg00059.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: [Fwd: MUD-Dev]</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> J C Lawrence <claw#under,engr.sgi.com></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00050" HREF="msg00050.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: [Fwd: MUD-Dev]</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> "Travis S.
