That's certainly good to do. And much appreciated if you (and/or anyone else) have done that in this case. For an account whose only post to the list is spam, I also take the approach of unsubscribing it. If it's a legitmate account, they can contact the list admins to tell us. [Yes, I could mark the account as moderated instead, but that puts needless burden on the list admins. If this were an account with has non-spam posts, that would be more appropriate.] Also, I can't recall _ever_ being contacted in such an instance, so I'm fairly confident that unsubscribing these accounts is unlikely to be harming (m)any legitimate users. And that saves the other ~5600 members from getting more spam. -- Todd
