Is anyone else distressed at the amount of crap one gets when a post goes out to a large mailing list? I get 5 to 10 pieces of floatsam every time one of my posts appears on Bugtraq, firewall-wizards, or vuln-dev. At first it was just assorted idiots using vacation 'bots that can't tell the difference between mailing list traffic and personal e-mail. Now I'm starting to get bounces from censor-ware that has decided I'm a smut-monger because I may use naughty words in a post. On at least one occasion, I got a bounce because I mentioned the BitchX client. Blue Boar: What is the list policy on this stuff? Do people who leave idiot robots connected to the list get dropped? I wish they would. Preferably with a note sent to their subscription address telling them that they've been dropped for having a robot subscribed to the list.
