[Mailman-Users] Probe Message Problem

[Gary Kaplan]

One of my users informed me that she got this message in which a couple
hundred address from the list were disclosed. I want to know if there is a
way to stop this. I don't want everyone who gets a probe message to see
everyone's email address. I have noted where the address are listed but left
the actual addresses off.

At this point it lists a couple hundred email addresses

Then is says this:

and list the addresses again.

	Could you give us some more details as to precisely what your
problem is, so that we have some idea of what you want fixed?
