I sent an email to a new person, someone who was not on my whitelist, and I sadly forgot to set my X-TMDA to bare=append.
They kindly replied to my email address, and of course got a confirmation request as an answer. Now, instead of replying to this message and making everything better, the guy said: > > Sorry, but it was you who wrote me first. And I had the > courtesy to reply. > Since he replied to my "regular" address, he got another confirmation request. Now here's where the fun starts... He apparently marked me as "spam" which caused my confirmation request to be bounced (not to my envelope sender, which would have been dealt with properly), but to my regular email address. >From then on about 300 emails, I think, were sent back and forth between my TMDA and his spam blocker -x application... I have no details at all about what was used at his end, the headers in the message I finally released seem to be devoid of anything that may clue me in to what he's using. My TMDA was always replying to his envelope sender, which was just his regular email address, but his bouncer was replying to my "From" address. Eventually I noticed this and whitelisted him, so there should be no more loop. My questions: 1) Is there any thing I can do to prevent this from happening in the future, besides the obvious - remembering to use bare=append? 2) Should I try to contact this person and let them know that their email autoresponder is in violation of some standard for replying to the From address instead of the envelope-sender? What standard is it that they would be in violation of? -- Jim Ramsay [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key ID: 0xBE28F488 _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
