I've actually already had one conversation with them about the fact that their site was allowing subscriptions without confirmation. Now the site requires confirmations, and someone's apparently still confirming the damn things. It's been suggested that this may be happening wholly automatically through link spiders, though, which I hadn't thought of initially; so yeah, it'd be good to either have abuse headers to track, or (probably easier) just blacklist the domain... -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
