This is fine and it just means that with your respective lists, the
exploders are part of the normal distribution channel. This doesn't mean
that this is the case with other lists. Personally, I always discourage
local exploders, even on public lists, because in my experience they've
brought nothing but trouble and flames ("YOUR SYSTEM SAYS I M NOT ON THE
LIST BUT THATS A ****LIE**** AND IM H'\\'ONNA SUE YOUR SORRY ASS IF YOU
DON"T REMOVE ME NOW AND I MEAN ****NOW****"). That's one thing, but when
these people start calling you on the phone and then calling your boss
and end up having to explain redistributors to a manager who barely
understands what a list is, you've reached a point where it's costing you
more in manpower to put up with idiots who can't run a redistributor than
it could possibly cost you in extra hardware. And on private lists where
I need to approve subscribers, I don't allow exploders at all.
