I've had Liam Foster subscribe to four of my lists since about six weeks ago. So far hasn't attempted to post to any of them. I put all new subscribers onto moderation as soon as I've approved their membership, as Deloris has described. It seems the best way to catch any who are not genuine, before anything reaches the list. It does not, of course, prevent anything happening off-list, but we can't control that anyway. Anyone could harvest addresses off the archives if they wanted to, they don't have to be subscribed to access that information. I have no reason to suspect this is happening, it is purely speculation.
