(*sigh*) I'm beginning to think you may be right. We routinely have people
trying to unsubscribe to the list address.

It won't help. I have a list with unsubscribe and help links at the bottom over every email, as well as a link tot he mailman page for the list.

Still doesn't help. "Hey, I'm going on vacation, can you put me on hold for 2 weeks?"

Platzers. Too bad they're mostly family or I could just blacklist them.... :)


Problem is, these idiots aren't going to read the body any more than they bother reading the headers. It isn't the inability to read headers that's the
problem, it's the inability of the mail senders to _think._

If you come up with anything that will, short of an active admin with a fast
