It's another waste of space in my inbox due to poorly-implemented software. If their mailman installation uses a whitelist, so I get *one* message per list rather than a bounce for every message I send, then that's somewhat acceptable. If I get mailbombed just for participating in a thread on lkml, that's definitely not acceptable (and I will remove such lists from the Cc). It would be vastly better if mailman were smart enough to autoapprove threaded replies -- it's not as if the spammers are any more likely to forge In-Reply-To: than From: (which they already do). Or even to not waste my time by sending a "held for moderation" message until it's processed by the listowner. > The rest appears to be your personal issue Matt, perhaps caused by not > setting up smart enough mail filters ? Not sure what ad hominem attacks have to do with this situation. It's not as if I can reasonably /dev/null all mailman gunk; if there's a real exception condition, I want to see it. -andy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
