Continuing my curiosity from last night, I decided to see if I could switch
to digest mode. I sent a blank email to
dreamweaver-digest@lists.blueworld.com, as detailed in the footer of every
message, and received the following:

******
This is an automated message from the
<dreamweaver@lists.blueworld.com> mailing list manager

Somebody (probably you) have requested the subscribe(digest) operation
for your <ajeffery@bookcellaronline.com> address

If you want to confirm this operation,
use the Reply command in your mailer.

Check that the Subject of the reply message contains
the confirmation ID: xxxxxxxxxx,
the reply is directed to <dreamweaver-digest@lists.blueworld.com>,
and the 'From' address of your reply is <ajeffery@bookcellaronline.com>.

If you do not want to confirm the requested operation, simply do nothing

All requests about this mailing list
should be sent to <dreamweaver-request@lists.blueworld.com>
******

So, I assume that I would be in digest mode if I replied to that email. Is
this assumption correct? Have people replied to the confirmation email above
and remained in index mode?

And yes, the dreamweaver-index@lists.blueworld.com address appears to be
working, too.

I would say that when it comes to the human-listserver interaction here,
it's not the listserver that needs fixing. JMHO.

I have been trying to stop this flooding of my mailbox for a week. It is
locking up my mailbox. I have sent in unsubscribe requests and even emails
to the administrator.
But more importantly when I signed on to this forum I specifically requested
NO emails.
Unintentional mistakes by well meaning goofballs and marshbunnies have no
right to cause harm to anyone.

If they brought down your website every day because it got flooded by emails
would you be so contrite?
If you want to be helpful why don't you fix the listserver. But you don't
want to be helpful, you just want to rape the victum.
