And there is a way to check that this is not just a troll for email
addresses to send spam to????.... ok, call me paranoid, but if _I_ was
evil and wanted to harvest email addresses for spam purposes, this is
_EXACTLY_ what I would do. Subscribe to every darn listserver in the
world with just the same two lines as above. I sujest ppl don't reply
direct to Bijin4, if it really wants confirmation it is on the linuxsa
list, it wil get its own email sent back along with this and everything
else...

I ask myself why someone using an aol.com address wants to subscribe to
a mailing list server in South Australia. No, don't tell me the
tentacles reach this far already. Nooooooo.
