But using C/R and force $USER to subscribe, will double my Messges. Please note, that I am not subscribed to any malinglists of l.d.o except [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I receive all 68 on a secret E-Mail for local archiving. This Archive is readonly and used by more then 20 local $USER. So forcing $USER to subscribe will increase the load of my network dramaticly, which mean, curently I get around 2500 legitim Messages and 27.000 SPAMs and if each user should subscribe, then I have around 21.000 legitim Messages and around 26.500 SPAMs (SPAMs coming from l.d.o are realy rare compared with direct SPAM to local $USER) Or will there an option "nomail" ? > > I don't consider the confirmation message to subscribe to this mailing > > list C/R. > > To subscribe, you send a request to the list admin interface, it sends you > back a challenge, you send it a response. It looks exactly like _every_ > other C/R system. Not directly right, because the CONFIRMATION request from the ML-System send it because you have requested it. But I get tonnst of C/R daily from people I do not know.
