Subject: Return Messages caused by SPAM

I was wondering how other majordomo admins handle returned messages that 
are by spam?

My mailing lists have been around for some time and I have had zubscribe 
instructions, including
the list-request addresses, posted on html files on the internet.  Well, 
all the spambots have picked
up the request addresses and are spamming them.  Majordomo interprets the 
spam as invalid
commands and sends the standard help message to the reply or from address 
which is naturally
an invalid address.  The help message is then bounced back to me through 
the Majordomo-Owner
address.

I just wanted to know how other people handle the returned help messages.

Jeff
