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:
	#From: MailPush Support <support@necs.co.il>
	:0
	* ^From.*MailPush.Support.*
	/dev/null
