Is this spam? CERTAINLY NOT! A listserver serves a SUBSCRIPTION list! People need to request to be on your mailing list. It's easy to add them -- or they can add themselves. It's equally easy to delete them if they don't want to be on your list anymore, so you're NEVER spamming anyone!

I couldn't understand what was happening. In next half hour I received 50 unsubscribers. I checked list to see what was going on. In my mind only name on list I was sending to was mine.

When I pulled up my ftp program, last weeks list was on it. I went to my software to change list but it wouldn't change. The only thing that would cause it not to change was if chmod settings had changed. They did. I had sent my 'test' to my list as it was last week.

The upgrade on server had reset all settings to everything in my cgi-bin. After it was all said and done, I lost over 200 subscribers. My host is aware of problem and have done a number of good things for my site, so I see no need to move. The real goal of this article is to make web owners aware of checking their site frequently.

Though program I use is unusual in that mailing list can change in cgi-bin, I had other programs that users brought to my attention were not working. What this means is that as a website owner, you have to check your site all time. Don't trust that it works.
