Save your hide by getting verification on every entry; i.e:
1) Get request.
2) Send email to alleged requester.
3) Do nothing unless/until you get back a confirming "yes, I do want" reply.
and log and save everything. if there's a web form, then log the ip address that the request came from. provide enough infrastructure that when you get a complaint, you can rapidly provide the records. and the "urban legend" thing is incorrect. AOL has in some cases had mailing list providers sign agreements governing their behavior. that's the only one i know of, but there could be others. richard -- Richard Welty rwelty@averillpark.net Averill Park Networking 518-573-7592 Unix, Linux, IP Network Engineering, Security
