Darrell-

I really think this is a NON-problem. Spammers send their spam to all three
list addresses -- both request addresses as well as the actual list
address--so if they have one of the magic word commands they will get subbed
anyway--but that happens VERY infrequently. I think we can count the
instances on one hand.
