This isn't the first list I have such experiences with crazy filters or MTAs. But the first time I've been flooded with mails! Having the address of the original sender is a security leak. It could either be used to gather adresses by spammers or to DoS-attack users of mailing-lists, which could drive off users from projects. So the original senders should be removed from header by mailing-list server. I've cross-posted this mail to linux-DVB as the ML is maintained by Convergence. -- Rene Bartsch Facsimile/Phone: +49 7 00/72 27 87 24 Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
