Vacation and out of office autoresponders
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I got not less than 5 autoresponses from vacation type programs for a
single message I posted to this list, on the "Execute a SSH command"
thread. Is that the normal behaviour normal here?
I don't understand how people interested on security can be so careless
with autoresponders :-/ :-O
These are the culprits - I name them so that they can know what is
happening, if they really read the list:
1) t.foecking#kreis-borken.de
robin1.listas#tiscali.es
betreff Mailer Dämon - Unknown User
Die Nachricht an t.foecking#kreis-borken.de konnte nicht zugestellt werden. Der Empfänger ist hier unbekannt.
(I know no german, so I have no idea what they are telling me)
2) ig-relacionamento#ig.com.br
Caro(a) cliente,
Agradecemos sua mensagem e continuamos trabalhando para oferecer um
atendimento cada vez melhor.
(I'm not their client!)

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

(a postmaster on the list, as such "postmaster"?)

aguarde.

--> unfortunately, this seems to get more common these days on suse-security. Most of the times I try to forward these kind of auto-replies or error messages to suse-security-owner and ask them to remove these addresses from the mailinglist. And I seldom get the same vacation message twice, at least.

--> It says: "User unknown" (also in the German part) It's annoying but no real threat :-) Cheers, Armin

I didn't try this time, because five are a lot: perhaps is customary on this security list to set autoresponders to the list :-P -- I mean, I get none on the SLE list, and that one is much higher traffic than this one!

Who is unknown, I wonder, me or him?
It's annoying but no real threat :-)
I know. But it doesn't say much good of their companies and sysadmins... How come the persons that care about security - because they read this list, right? - are so careless about their own security? Even an IBM chap :-O -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
