That works for the vacation purpose, but that doesn't allow someone to subscribe without getting all list traffic. That inability is the main reason for not requiring someone to validate their email address before posting. If my local prairie restoration club can make people subscribe before posting, I don't see why Debian can't. You want help with invasive garlic mustard? Better subscribe :) -- Seth Goodman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
