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.

Thanks,
    Crispin
