Greetings.

The server for a mailing list I am subscribed to recently had a robot
mail to its majordomo to find out what lists are available on it.  As a
result, several legitimate mailing lists got subscribed to junkmail
lists.  I want to disallow robots from finding out what mailing lists
are on my server.  Is there a way to stop this?

I see, in listname.config, two parameters which might do what I want:
	advertise
and	noadvertise

These take regexp's; anyone know of a regex that will stop _everyone_
from getting a list?  Would it be this:
--- 8< --- clip 'n' save --- >8  ---
noadvertise << END
/@/
END
--- 8< --- clip 'n' save --- >8  ---

Thanks.

Daniel
