One of you people are winding me up, right?

Look what I just got back:



**************** eManager Notification *****************

<snipped useless anti-spam spam>

******************* End of message *********************



Helpfully, the message (or its header) doesn't tell me the subject line or
give any other reference to *which* one of my offensive messages it was that
caused the problem.


I think I can guess which one caused the problem though. Do we have to
resort to ROT-13 to use the term "cvff-cbbe" now?

This is ridiculous.

It is - in the past week since Apple switched to setting posts with From set to the original posters address I have gotten literally HUNDREDS of obnoxious auto-replies from vacation messages, mailbox quota full messages, anti-spam tools, etc. Of course these tools should be using the Reply-To, but they don't, and as a result the list as a whole doesn't see these messages meaning the listmoms have less demand to remove the offendiing subscribers - instead, those of us who post most get hit most (I don't post much on this list, but do on many Apple-hosted lists)... nice policy destined to really raise the quality of postings on the lists.


Urgg.
