[Fwd: Re: Email?]

[Darin Perusich]

i realise it's trivial to edit the lists file but the idea behind 
mailing list software is that it's the users responsibility to maintain 
his/her account. the nflug mailist is small, only about 120+ users, if 
you host 50 mailing lists where each list has thousands of user you 
don't want to get into that game.
