We ended up putting filters on port 25 for about some 200 IPs at the cisco for quite some time before we could manage to get ourselves off most of the lists. This was some 4 months ago and we *still* haven't gotten off all of them.
A suggestion for this: Install a mail filter. create a message header that says: From: mailer-daemon@site To: <list-sender> Subject: Message rejected: user unknown the user root@site could not be found ----- unsent message follows ----- Then include the original message, and send it back to the envelope sender field (and/or the header Sender: field) for every 'bogus' message you receive. This simple trick will get you automatically unsubscribed from about 80% of the lists. The rest you'll never see, because of your mail filter, and some administrator will eventually get tired of the bounce messages and unsubscribe you by hand. -- C.
