Hi all! If the mailing list is going to be altered, why can't we have a randomly generated *graphical* password displayed on the subscription page, that needs to be read by a real person, and then typed into a password box, to confirm subscription to the list. This is another way of stopping bots from subscribing to a list, as they obviously cannot read the graphical password, and type it into a password box! just my 2 cents HTH - Keith Roberts http://www.karsites.net/ On Sun, 24 Oct 2004, Mathias Homann wrote:
best idea would be:
1. change the way the list is managed, so that a simple reply to a mail does NOT confirm a subscription. Generate some dynamical link instead that the user has to follow or something like that. That way, nobody can just subscribe some weird autoreplying bots to the list via the web frontend.
