Or tell vendors who produce broken virus scanners that autorespond to mailing lists to fix their stupid products. Anyone who writes a tool that auto replies to email needs to follow these rules: No message should be sent unless a login (or an alias) is part of either the "To:" or "Cc:" headers of the mail. No messages from "???-REQUEST", "Postmaster", ``UUCP'', "MAILER", or "MAILER-DAEMON" should be replied to (where these strings are case insensitive) and a notification should not be sent if a "Precedence: bulk", "Precedence: list" or "Precedence: junk" line is included in the mail headers. Grr. Anyway, I'll not continue to be a hypocrite by complaining about software that posts irrelevant messages to mailing lists by posting irrelevant messages to mailing lists :-). -- Dean Povey, |em: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| JCSI: Java security toolkit Senior S/W Developer |ph: +61 7 3864 5120 | uPKI: Embedded/C PKI toolkit Wedgetail Communications |fax: +61 7 3864 1282 | uASN.1: ASN.1 Compiler Brisbane, Australia |www: www.wedgetail.com | XML Security: XML Signatures ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
