auto-responder hell here
I just made a post to the amanda list, that generated 9 autoresponder messages. FWIW, I'm feeding them all to spamassassin with sa-learn -l I consider such crap as exactly that, crap, totally useless crap at that, usually brought about by someones overblown ego trying to convince the rest of the world how important they are and without them the world will stop. Well, I have a message to those. The world can function, sometimes even better, without them, or me for that matter. So if when you all get back to work, and start trying to play catchup on your email, do not be the least bit surprised if your renewed pleas for help go unanswered cause they all get marked [SPAM] and delt with accordingly. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

"Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence." -- Napoleon Bonaparte Or to put it differently, most of the morons who auto-reply to list mail these days really aren't doing it intentionally. The ones that annoy me enough I filter to /dev/null in procmail. Sometimes I send a nasty-gram instead. I rarely do both to the same sender. I guess I'm about to find out who today's brilliant 9 are... -Mitch

My bad, but they were standing on the only nerve I've got left. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
