This is something I got too. Did you use "Naughty" language? I get it for that. You can't even say BitchX these days without someone whining.

Don't think I said anything risky - of course, anyone with a dirty mind could make all sorts out of words like "flash" or "mount!" I hope this isn't a sign of political correctness creeping in.........

naaaah, someone signed up, decided they didn't like us, or there was too much traffic, or has some sort of filter, or the isp has some filter which decided that something in your message was worth bouncing.. I get a couple every now and then and usually ask list admin to remove said person , or at least send them a rocket.. ( Stop this ) and one more bounce they are uncerimoniously removed. -- j -- nemo me impune lacessit

As the email does not come from SuSE, but from somebody else, I think that person is running a content filter (ie, spam filter) that is trigering on mail he receives from the list. The bounce, of course, goes to you. Absurd! By bouncing spam to the originator (if that is what "content filtering" really means) he will be increasing it! In any case, mostly his problem. If more people receive this, forward it to the list -owner, so that he can unsubscribe him. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Doesn't means much, it can be misconfiguration or missuse. On the other hand, it can that that piece of software is not aware of the difference in handling mail list - after all, list email will have some of Mailing-List, X-Mailinglist, list-help, list-unsubscribe, list-post, headers. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
