Hi Don

Sorry, I do not recall seeing your reply but as I have recently changed
ISPs it could be that it got lost in the changeover.

I did not realise about the Newsgroup messages being passed on to the list
- the only other thing I can suggest is that perhaps once an offending
message has been sent to the list or newsgroup then could their email
address be put on the reject list which you can do via the Listowners
Utilities page? This would at least prevent them from continuing to send
messages to the list, at least, although it would not solve the newsgroup
being subjected to them. Again I am not sure how this would work but it
may be worth a try.

I do not have a newsgroup linked to my list so have never come across this
problem before!

Kind regards
