Why not put the onus on the subscriber? Because the mailing lists archives can be a prime source for spammers.

I wasn't so saying that because of archiving messages ... more for mailboxes getting full. Messages get bounced when your mailbox gets full. > Could you explain the bounced messages?

The mailing list software detects when a message is returned to it ... if your mail service consistantly returns messages for 5 days, your mailing list subscription will be disabled until you re-enable it. > BTW, Rob mentioned the spam he got from Ed Gizowski and I had replied > that I had not received any.

I can't find macro computer's subscription address, if they have one ... so there's really not much I can do at this point. david
