dont mention it Smilie
i forgot where i found that , i think it might have been on here. anyway it really is a great utility, and the instructions on the website are really very easy to follow. aside from making sure your email server isnt an open relay, other steps to prevent gettting spam is to just not give our your email address. i recieve minimal spam, maybe one or 2 every 3 weeks. a big thing i think is that people really dont think twice about giving out their email address. people sign up for contests to win $1000000 and dont realize that they are selling your address to ad. companies. another preventative tip is whenever you post your email on message boards, or irc channels, or on website is to NOT include the '@' sign, instead just use the word 'at' eg: nobody at example.com
also, whenever i recieve spam that i am positive i didnt give the senders my address, if i have the time ill send them a polite email requesting that they take my address of of their send list and that sometimes helps. anyway , hope all that helps!

NAME
mlmmj-sub - subscribe address to a mailinglist run by mlmmj SYNOPSIS
mlmmj-sub -L /path/to/list -a john@doe.org [-c | -C] [-d | -n] [-h] [-U] [-V] -a: Email address to subscribe -c: Send welcome mail -d: Subscribe to digest version of the list -C: Request mail confirmation -h: This help -L: Full path to list directory -m: Subscriber moderation string -n: Subscribe to nomail version of the list -s: Don't send a mail to the subscriber if already subscribed -U: Don't switch to the user id of the listdir owner -V: Print version DESCRIPTION
This utility is used to subscribe people to the specified mailinglist. It will write the email address in a file with the name of the beginning letter of the email address getting subscribed in the <listdir>/subscribers.d/ directory. Unless the -U switch is used it will switch its user id to the user id owning the list directory. This is done to make sure that new files created are having correct permissions. The nomail version of the list is a list version where people are subscribed like usual, but they won't recieve any postings to the list. This is useful for people who read the mailinglist through a news gateway, but want to be able to post to the list. Normally a mail is sent to the subscriber if the address is already subscribed to the list. If the -s switch is used such a mail will not be sent. When neither -c nor -C are specified, subscription silently happens. SEE ALSO
