Dear Postmaster,
I believe you have a user named 'cbooth', using host 'penelope'. This
person is running a poorly configured procmail, and the error messages
are flooding the redhat-list mailing list. This is a very heavy volume
list, with many thousands of subscribers, having upwards of 1000
messages per week, and as you can imagine this is causing quite a bit of
trouble.
I, and several thousand other people, would be grateful if you could
take immediate steps to rectify this situation.
Your prompt attention to the matter is appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
David Landgren
