with all due respect, i dont think you understand.
the model is the famous "clueless mailing list". clueless users
that insist upon sending "unsubscribe me" messages to the mailing list
itself and not the admin address, were added to the "clueless mailing list".
the only subscribers were people that sent "unsubscribe me" messages to
the list and not the admin address. all the list traffic was people yelling
at each other "unsubscribe me". a weekly posting told them how to unsubcribe.
sooner or later they learned.
i offer the same model in dealing with a spammers mailing list.
send the spammers all your spam. use the sendmail rules from
FreeBSD-2.2.5 /etc/mail to block spam from your site.
we are not dropping to their level, we are redirecting the trash
they send us back to them.
