You didn't ask me.  *I* run the listserv, not the opendos readers.
You need to ask both.

I don't mind if people subscribe their own lists to my lists, but when
they subscribe my list to their own lists my anti-spam program rejects
those messages.  When you *cross* subscribe them, you create loops
which instantly fill up both listserver systems with mass duplicates
(except that my server watches for that too).

That would be me.  I was having a hard time getting opendos off the
dosonly list, so I yanked the dosonly entry in opendos's subscriber
list to kill the loops and alarms until I could fix the dosonly list.
