It's a legal requirement in the UK to have an easy to use mechanism to unsubscribe to marketing emails. The definition of marketing would definitely extend to promotion of free open source software. Whether it also extends to a support list like this might be debatable, but surely the developers of software developed mainly in response to the spamming industry ought to be following best practice. As long as most MTAs don't expose the List-Unsubscribe: header (none do by default, as far as I'm aware), it can't be described as "easy to use". Some MTAs even make it really hard to find the full message headers. -- Ian Eiloart IT Services, University of Sussex x3148 _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
