This is a part of a 'spam protection service' which requires you to validate your
email address before it sends the message on to the recepient.
Somebody on this list has this set to all incoming mail and therefore all members of
any mailing list this person is on gets spammed with this message if they try to reply
to his post. I've seen it already on several other lists and have ended up filtering
the offender's address to the spam folder.
In several cases, people have reset their 'spam protection service' to exclude mailing
lists they're subscribed to, so we live in hope :-)
Regards,
Phil.
