No -- that's the on-going saga of the Idiot and the Clueless Support
crew.  Every time anyone posts to freebsd-questions@... they get an
auto-response from mpcustomer.com.  Partly its due to some Idiot who
thought it would be fun to redirect the mailing list traffic into a
support system, but mostly it's because that Support system is badly
designed, not standards compliant (apart from anything else, you should
never send auto-replies to a Precedence: List message) and worst of all:
it sends out replies *forging the sender address*.

postmaster@freebsd.org knows of the problem, but can't do anything
unless the address that is feeding the traffic into their system can be
identified.  mpcustomer.com seem incapable of doing anything to fix the
problem.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
