I think you're probably right - the name 'safe-mail' is suggestive in itself. The implication of these messages is that anything that's posted to the user list, by someone who gets one of these auto-responses, isn't getting delivered to the user. The user will only be seeing stuff posted by people who have registered themselves, or who have been registered by some other mechanism. While I agree that it's the provider here that's really causing the problem, and not the user, I think we can assume that the safe-mail.net admins have intentionally set up this auto-responder this way and as far as they're concerned it's working just fine - it's free advertising after all - so I doubt that individuals telling them that they're being a mite inconsiderate will have much effect. Perhaps an 'official' complaint from the FG org might be listened to, or alternatively we could try to help this user sort it out if he isn't able to do it himself.
