    3. Joan, It hasn't happened to me yet. I get notices from Gerhard all the times, when the spams hit the lists, Gerhard knows which lists the subscriber is on, and remove from all lists the person is subscribed to. he subscriber is not blocked at all. What he is doing, is far more effective than singular efforts because there are listadmins who don't really watch their lists. Bottom line, it looks like you have one subscriber who ignored Gerhard.
