I've been getting a series of bounce messages from the VULN-DEV mailserver
saying that I have to enter a message subject. The attached messages were
messages in reply to my post but with me as sender. they apparently were
fired off by some perl script.

Subject: Wonky Mail Filters from vuln-dev subscribers

This may be a bit off topic for vuln-dev.... but amongst the zillions of
vacation messages and block messages (C'mon people don't you think
you're running those mail filters wound a little tight?) I got from
my posting to vuln-dev was the following.....

And my question is... what the hell could be sexually discriminatory
about discussing snort crashes and bugs? And of course now this post
will be blocked by the appropriate language policies at some sites
because I said "what the hell" ... :-) :-) :-) More broken products
breaking people's networks and communication...

cheers,
