RE: New kind of spam?
Couldn't agree more, I sent to this person reply's asking him to
stop this 'feature', he doesn't responded or canceled yet this
'feature'.
I propose to cancel the subscription (after a few warnings) to
people that do thinks like this one. No one should be punished for
posting in the list...
Thanks & regards,
Arie Guttman

I agree totally. I am getting ALOT of these messages too, (we
are getting
it from people receiving postmaster notifys from our mailserver
and from
mailing lists).
I tried to talk to the mailpush people but the say that these
customers
specficly requested this service, and are paying for it. and
they won't
remove it.
I seriously consider to put a procmail rule to forward this mail
to
necs.co.il contacts whenever I get it.
currently I just:
