It /may/ be legit but I'd be very, very suspicious given that it's a Russian address and a heck of a lot of spam does come out of Russia. An attempt to spam the list /may/ be the objective but there's also the possibility whoever this is is harvesting. This is why I have my lists set to approve rather than confirm. I'd discard it and see if try to subscribe again. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk http://www.savethegurkhas.co.uk/
