For the last several weeks I have been getting the following email message on a daily basis. I have not replied to it for fear it is some kind of scam. Is it legitimate?

Here is the message:

Don't feel bad, I get these too on another maclaunch list I'm on. Out of 5 lem/maclaunch lists I'm subbed to (same email account), it's the only one I get these from. I used to reply to every one (2-3 per day), but they still kept coming. Sometimes I got them bounched back to me when I replied. Finally I just gave up and now delete them, since it didn't seem to make any difference whether I replied or not. Been like this for about 3 months now and I haven't been bounced from the list yet. I still get 2-3 of these a day and I just keep deleting them. I figure if I do get bounced I'll just re-sub and maybe they'll stop then. I think maclaunch just uses crappy listserve software. When I subbed to this list, I got the "confirm" messge, hit "reply" and "send" just like the instructions said (like always), and I got it bounched back to me with an error message "message content not acceptable here". HUUH! Keep in mind that I did not add or change anything in the message, and I have my mail app set to use plain text only. I finally deleted everything in the body and left only the subject and headers, and sent it again and this time it worked.
Of course I'm saying YOU should ignore them, as your situation may be different, but this is what I'm doing and so far, so good.
