Enough is enough. >=20 Sorry for making yet another reply. I'll be short. I just want to make a small suggestion since you mentioned the word=20 postmaster. Why not put a filter on the following domains: hotmail.com msn.com yahoo.* + all other "get a free webmail account" services on the net that we know= of. Then send a mail to all the members using mail addresses underneath these= =20 domains to re-subscribe with a mail address of another domain. This makes it at least a little harder for anonymous trolls to send all t= his=20 crap to the mailing list all the time.
