Is this some kind of spam? If it is, it's the strangest I've ever seen/encountered, and also if it is, it looks like I should never have told Carlos I never got any spam off this list! LOL! You cursed me Carlos, this is all your fault! LOL!
X'-) No, it is not spam. The thing is as follows: You sent an email to the list. The list server sent it to the thousand (?) subscribers. One of them has been marked as a spammer by his ISP -- Good job! Praise them! :-) --, and his account was blocked. That ISP sends back a notification to the originator of the email, which is you: at least, you are in the "from" header. maybe it should have bounced to the list server: Christopher could perhaps clarify that, I think. So, everybody that sent email to this list (and the spanish list as well) got one of those. The proper action is to forward one of those, complete, to the list owner, ie: suse-linux-e-owner@suse.com - as documented on the litle confirmation email you received when you susbcribed ;-) And the "owner" had a hard time finding this one: thus the bounce test he comented. By the way: you got that email inside the list mailbox because your mail filter rule is incorrect. If you use procmail, the rule is similar to this: :0f * ^X-Mailinglist: suse-linux-e | /usr/bin/formail -bfi "Reply-To:suse-linux-e@suse.com" :0 a: $HOME/Mail/lists/suse-linux-e The formail part is for adding a "reply-to" header. The important part is that you have to check for the "X-Mailinglist:" header. Then, follow with rules for the other lists you may have. For example: :0 * ^X-Mailinglist: suse-security-announce $HOME/Mail/lists/suse-security-announce Anything that doesn't match, is a direct email to you. :0 $HOME/Mail/lists/in_elresto -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
