Oh THOSE...they are not trying to subscribe...just spam or scam emails to the admin address. I don't even open them...I just delete them. Joan In a message dated 10/22/2012 1:09:58 A.M.

Since they all are addressed to one of my Admin addresses, they come to me instead of to the lists, so no harm is done. I am on Linked In so I opened the first one and my browser gave me a big red warning window about the danger of the site I was trying to open. So now I just delete anything with Invite.

About 25% of the spam I am now receiving is from a Hexidecimal Name & "invite". I feel comfortable that all their posts will be spam.
