[wp-hackers] (no subject)

Wow....

@Craig: I'm afraid you're a bit wrong there, it's not a auto-reply.
It's a stupid pre-generated message. The difference is, this is more
blatantly annoying. One of them comes out as a REPLY when an email is
received. The second is actively sent out to all members on your
contacts list - this is the latter.

MailMan, the mailing list software, can and is very good at filtering
out properly formatted and RPC-compliant auto-responders. For a while
when I was moving, I had an auto-responder on my email that would send
a message like this as a response to the first email I received from
each email address every 3 weeks until turned off. Of course, I didn't
unsubsribe from WP-Hackers during that time, but neverthless my "spam"
didn't reach the list because I properly formatted the auto-replies.

But this - it's just so damn annoying. He *picked* to send it to us!!!
