I'm not one to overlook the obvious. Is it desireable that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can telnet to toad's SMTP port, and use the sendmail expand command to list everyone on this mailing list? I'm sure less net-savvy users on this list are unaware, and it should be said.

Welcome to TCP/IP. You've told us what most of us already know. (By the way, its the SMTP EXPN command, not the "sendmail" one, as sendmail is just one MTA -- there are many other implementations). The whole point of this list is to develop techniques to ensure privacy -- most of us understand that there isn't much right now. Perry
