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!) 3) postmaster#mavari.be Subject: Delivery Status Notification (Failure)+AFs-Scanned+AF0- Message, "Re: [suse-security] Execute a SSH command[Scanned]" Delivery to the following recipients failed. postmaster#mavari.be (a postmaster on the list, as such "postmaster"?) 4) From: suporte#hpg.com.br Subject: Re: Re: [suse-security] Execute a SSH command Olá, Recebemos seu email e logo entraremos em contato via e-mail. Por favor, aguarde. (another one confusing me for a customer, I guess - I know no portuguese) 5) From: Stefan Orth <SORTH#de.ibm.com> Subject: Stefan Orth/Germany/IBM is out of the office. I will be out of the office starting 26.06.2004 and will not return until04.07.2004. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFA40gQtTMYHG2NR9URAu1QAJ9raU5SykhtKTS6V1Lwoz6gix39SwCdEP3w 3P35IB0BF1MM81GXAXiAw0U= =xtjc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Hi Carlos,
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?
--> 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.
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)
--> 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
