Open letter to "Tom Faska" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I recently posted a message to the GNHLUG email list and as a
result I received the annoying automatically generated email
included below. Please be assured that I hate SPAM as least as
much as you do, but I find your bot-generated authentication
demand just as irritating. I don't know what the solution to
the SPAM problem is, but this nonsense is definitely NOT it.
I therefore ask that you modify your configurations such that
this annoyance ceases immediately or, failing that, I ask Mr.
Gelinas to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the GNHLUG lists.
Regards,

This is the irritating bot-response:
