There wasn't an email address from uol.com.br subscribed to the list so he actually didn't solve anything and if you remove the blocks that you have in your system and then post to [EMAIL PROTECTED], you will see this is still happening. Apparently someone has subscribed to the mail list with one address which automatically bounces it to the uol.com.br address which automatically sends the challenge to the originator of the message to the list because the list retains the original 'From' address.
So in actuality, Warren has done nothing really to solve the problem. ---- > He really does not have time to handle this one at a time > for a problem that irritates people this much. > > I block them.
