I personally think slightly smarter exploders might go a long way. For example: ... 2) an exploder that "suspends" messages with more than, say 6 lists and newsgroups, and notifies the sender. If the sender is not a real address, it automatically is purged.

But wouldn't a spammer just defeat this measure by using a shell script, say. Instead of sending one message to n lists, a script could easily send n messages each addressed to a single list. Rick Boivie rboivie@vnet.ibm.com
