usenet is not the same thing as the the internet. assuming you didnt bring
in the usenet news groups, you should avoid the problem. now, *if* there are
also mailing lists, well, then you have aproblem. now, i am sure that if you
label your domains clearly, like foo.schoolname.k12, you can get people
running "mature" lists not to service addresses on these addresses.


this may not be "good enough", people can backdoor mailing lists and such.
on the other hand, under paid clerks in drug stores sell some pretty racy
stuff to minors also.
