Is anyone else getting this:

"Your Mail has not been delivered. As part of my spam control messages with ! in the subject, and other common spam like stuff, are rejected. This is not personal. Please just resend without ! in the subject. Thanks"

from Ruben Safir when posting to this list?

Spam is a problem for us all, but this strikes me as plain stupid. Not to mention annoying.

I sincerely hope this is not true.

It is true, you should have received this stoopid answer since you now used the exclamation mark in your reply:-( Cheers ... Wolfi ============================================= mailto:wolfi_z@gmx.net

Yep, I agree. I've asked Mr. Safir three times to stop, and when he didn't even respond he became the first member of my killfile.

Well I have put his postings to /dev/null also based on his previous behaviour on list. -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx

He's longer with us. Sorry,

Do you mean he's *no* longer with you? I see that you are with SuSE. I understand that the moderation of this list is intentionally light-handed. It strikes me that this is a borderline abuse situation and I too have added him to my black list, which means that his mail now gets dropped into a black hole before even being delivered to /dev/null.

You should have sent mail to suse-linux-e-owner to complain about this, not the list. It's an accident that I even saw it.

I've seen you ask that before, so my first port of call was the SuSE website, looking for the email address of the list maintainer. I couldn't find it and certainly couldn't remember it. My second option was to post to the list with a subject which I hoped was obvious enough that you'd spot it. Perhaps you could add a suitable "mailto" link on http://www.suse.com/us/support/mailinglists/index.html for each list admin? -- 8:05am up 14 days, 22:43, 1 user, load average: 0.03, 0.06, 0.08

Each mail from the list contains this information multiple times: It's in the headers, it's in the information you received when you subscribed (and were asked to keep for future reference), and is even in the trailer attached to every mail ('mail listname-help@suse.com for more commands). Why would putting this information on a web page make it more likely that people will pay attention to it? -- -ckm

Why would putting this information on a web page make it more likely that people will pay attention to it? I agree to your point Christopher. And I take it for proof that usually people here do FIRST ask a question here instead of looking into sdb (as do I :-9) or even surfing to Suse's pages.

So all in all, people would care even LESS about it when you put such things on a web page. Hey Christopher!
