Every time I send a message to the use-rev list, I get an email such as the one below. It's from a list member who hasn't had the good grace to set up his spam filters to accept mail from the list that he (or she) joined. Seems to me it's kind of impolite to join a list and then expect every other contributor to take extra action to accommodate your spam filters.

I haven't yet taken the action suggested, and in fact, I'm not ever going to take it, because it violates my idea of how things "should" work, so pretty soon, I'll get around to blacklisting "[EMAIL PROTECTED] domain" in my filters so I don't see these messages.

Am I the only grumpy old man who doesn't like this ?
Is it reasonable to ask the "guilty" party to fix their filters if they wish to remain on the list ?
   (Yes, I do realize he or she is probably not seeing this message  :-)

In fact, would it be reasonable to ask the list maintainer to *ensure* he fixes it ?

Hello. You recently sent me an email message with a subject of:
"Re: Challenge..."

I use an anti-spam service that uses an 'authorized senders list'.
The email message from you was from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
and that email address isn't in my authorized senders list yet.

Since I don't recognize this email address, your email has been
stored in quarantine until you confirm that you indeed sent this
message.

Once you confirm that you sent this message, your message will
automatically be inserted into my Inbox, and your email address
will be inserted into my authorized senders list, and you will
never receive this confirmation request again.

To confirm your message, please visit the following web page:
http://webmail.enoor.com/verify/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]/Inbox/aQuarantine/cur/29481150836825.24973.webmail.enoor.com

You can copy and paste the above link into your web browser.
If you do not respond within 2 days, the message will be
deleted automatically.

Thank you.
