I'm out of town too, and my bandwidth is thus rather limited, but the following log entries for the linuxat_private list may or may not be instructive. 1030036592 + linux-security-moduleat_private "applein" <appleinat_private> [snip] 1030073917 - linux-security-moduleat_private [snip] 1030101780 + linux-security-moduleat_private Claudio <claudio_79at_private> [snip] 1030106487 - linux-security-moduleat_private Subsription is unmoderated, but confirmation from the list subscriber is required. My understanding is that confirmation by the subscription requestor is _not_ adedquate in cases where the request is made by a 3rd party, but I will confirm this and get back with you. Is it possible that an improper request was made by a 3rd party and the listserver at linux-security-module autoreplied to the subscription confirmation request in such a fashion as to cause the subscription to be confirmed? Gentlemen, no one at FMP initiated this mischief. I am quite knowledgable, and more than willing to work with you to get to the bottom of this and see that any holes are plugged, here or elsewhere as it lies in my power to do so. Let's dispense with the talk of "crap" and "dealing with" me and see if we can't solve the problem. If this is going to be an ongoing problem, I can certainly configure or patch the list server here so as to refuse 3rd party subscription request for this and possibly other lists. Again, though, like Crispin, I'm currenty on the road and both my physical and personal bandwidth will be somewhat limited until next Tuesday.
