It's kind of silly if you ask me as it doesn't prevent anything since any
mildly intelligent person will just omit the [OT] and re-submit (case in
point), and it prevents other users from doing any kind of email filtering
on [OT]. It's basically punishing the sender for trying to do the right
thing. *sigh*

At least several years ago.  It bounces back to say that off-topic
mail isn't accepted, blah, blah, blah.
