All right, after reading the manual for GNU Mailman (the software this list uses) you CAN toggle off senders email addresses: Under section 'Membership exposure': Description: Show member addrs so they're not directly recognizable as email addrs? Value: This is a nice feature that discourages theft of lists: the membership list does not show actually addresses but instead shows participants as "username at foo.com". This should block most harvesters if they manage to get through to the listing. -- Mike Sanders www: http://freebsd.hypermart.net gpg: 0xD94D4C13
