 Pardon my ignoramusnous, but why is it I get the following response,

 in the subject line???

Because some bozo subscribed to the list using a Tagged message delivery agent (or other doorkeeper) without bothering to whitelist the list or inspect his held queue (I assume that his setup is homebuilt and doesn't bother with such things)

Even worse, the setup sends its responses to the address in the "From" header, which is a serious violation of RFC 2821. Automatically generated messages MUST be sent to the return-path address.


 Would the list maintainers please remove whoever the bluehill.com person
 is until they learn some list manners?

I believe this has been done. BTW, it's best to send such requests to the address in the "List-Owner" header rather than posting them in-line: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
