Is anyone minding the store ????
I've been getting bounce messages _to me_ from an address on the list, in response to my posts, and apparently in violation of RFC 2822. So I sent an email to users-ow...@spamassassin.apache.org and _that_ bounced. It seems that the registered owner of the list, msquad...@gmx.net, is also an unknown user. I would expect that a list devoted to making the Internet mail system run to everyone's benefit rather than to everyone's detriment would be operated in a more professional manner!

I've been getting bounce messages _to me_ from an address on the list, in response to my posts, and apparently in violation of RFC 2822. Step one: Open mouth. Step two, insert foot. Guess I a getting them now, so its not you, but its not the list doing it. It is some one who subscribed to the list. Their mail server is mucked up: listowner: please unsubscribe john till he fixes his server. Any email to john will bounce. And, or, till then, block email from their server.

Luckily it's listed in PYZOR and DCC, i submitted it to RAZOR too although more ppl must apparently do that yet. it hits BAYES_99 now and has DATE_IN_FUTURE_96_XX so it should score over 10 and be rejected here. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.

Is anyone minding the store Michael, it's American slang for isn't there someone here responsible for keeping things in order?. Sorry if it didn't communicate. It's understandable to have lusers on a list (I admin several so I do know) and even understandable, although regrettable, that there are MTAs and MTA admins out there who don't understand RFCs 822 and 2822, what got under my skin was writing to the list owner of this list and having _that_ bounce. Oh well I was receiving similar messages until I blocked their source (and sent postmaster a nice mail). They were related to SPF. I'm rejecting much mail at smtp level so I can't confim if I there were such attempts unless you'll tell me who's sending it... The problem address on the list is j...@redux.org.uk. The From header on the bounces is mailer-dae...@linda.intranet which is obviously bogus, likewise violating RFCs. The envelope sender on the bounces is , which is correct. -- Lindsay Haisley | Everything works|Accredited FMP Computer Services | if you let it | by the 512-259-1190 |(The Roadie) | Austin Better http://www.fmp.com| | Business Bureau
