If For mailing lists this can be achieved by making the list subscriber-only. For individual accounts such behaviour is very anti-social as it results in confirmation messages being sent in response to virus messages. This means that even though my anti-virus software is updated regularly I still get hit by viruses through those stupid confirmation messages! My response to these scumbags who send me the confirmation messages is that if they are on a mailing list I'm on then I black-list their email address if it's known (or their mail server if their email address is not clear). If a confirmation message appears to be in response to a virus then I respond to it. Let the scumbag get another copy of the virus... > I'm planning to develop this feauture, but It will be nice to hear from > what you thing about this idea. Don't do it.
