Hi all
The problem of folks posting unsubscribe messages has existed on
the RedHat install list for a long time and at a higher rate than
here. It has been partially solved thru the use of an automated
responder which emails an informative (and non-hostile :-) )
message directly to the person needing a clue.
It does not post to the list and currently tries not to respond
to the same individual more than once.
I'll turn it on for this list as well. If it turns out to
be disruptive I'll turn it off. Please send complaints to me at:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Here is the message which is sent:
