Re: [epub] stealing newsletters

Debbie... thank you for the heads-up... I went and downloaded my
subscriber list from Onelist, did a search for remarq and it's not on my
list, so apparently they aren't getting my newsletter.  But it makes me
wonder what the relationship is between e-Groups/Onelist and remarq.com
-- if your list is private and not on their public directory, how does
remarq know about it.  

I suppose if someone knows about your community and send in an email
subscription they can subscribe.  For future reference, you can make
your list so that you have to approve new memberships, hopefully this
will prevent future re-subscribing from remarq or some other company.

Sad that there is such easy infiltation.  If this is a security breach
at eGroups/Onelist, I may consider switching to GroupMail sooner than
I'd planned.
