The headers aren't faked. The return path identifies me explicitly. Would having this at the beginning of the email be be obvious enough? TO XXZZXXZZXXZZ: This is an automated response to your email containing the word "unsubscribe" on the subject line. It is intended to help you unsubscribe from one of the RedHat mailing lists. > Please use a valid sender address and add an explanation at the > beginning that is a service from Jeff Kinz and is specific to All replies to the autobot go to /dev/null, I get enough email and spam already. > beginning that is a service from Jeff Kinz and is specific to > "redhat-list" and doesn't apply to other lists (you write "from one > of the RedHat mailing lists" which is clearly wrong). No, its not wrong. This service runs on multiple RedHat mailing lists and the information in the body of the message is specifically tailored with the URLs for the relevant lists. Maybe you need to read it more closely, but it doesn't matter anymore. Sorry you were inconvenienced. > I replied to a message > Subject: Re: Please let me unsubscribe > on 25th of January (!) and received your bot's message on 20th of > February. Useless. The service was not active on this list on Jan 25. The message you got on Feb 20 was a result of a problem in a different area of a procmail script which affected this service as explained in my prior email. It responded to an email you sent within about a minute prior to the automated response. The email you sent was incorrectly targeted and should not have been responded to, along with about 80 others. -- Jeff Kinz, Emergent Research, Hudson, MA.
