Actually, by manipulating the CONFIDENTIAL and SERVICE header lines, LISTSERV
lists can be made to be known to only a select few people or sites. More
information is available in the L-Soft LISTSERV List Owner's Manual,
available from L-Soft at http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/index.html
If you're running a LISTSERV list, one way to pretty much seal out spammers
is to use the SUBSCRIPTION=By Owner option along with SEND=Private. You'll
need to approve every person who joins the list, but that barrier should be
effective against virtually all mailspammers.
