I sent the remove, but it was not intended to this mailing list, it was intended for some SPAM I received from a sex site, that said to reply with remove in the subject, I guess that this SPAM was sent to the list, so the header pointed that way, not the SPAM sender.
I believe, as do many others that sending a remove reply to a spam message just confirms to them that they have got a valid e-mail address. I have not replied to one of these in months and the amount of spam I have received has definitely gone down a bit.
