This is happening because someone has a broken auto-responder that (a) responds to bulk traffic, i.e., mailing list traffic and (b) responds back to the person sending traffic to the mailing list. This list's headers indicate that the way to reach the human(s) behind it is to contact: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org This list's main information page indicates that it's: freebsd-questions-owner@freebsd.org (To explain: both variations are common. I support both on the lists that I manage because the first one matches RFC 2142 and the second one is parallel to freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org, which is the address used to interact with Mailman. The general rule is that -request usually goes to a program while -owner goes to people.) Therefore, I would forward a copy of the response to one of those addresses (probably the latter), with an explanation, and request the removal of the address causing the problem. Most people who run mailing lists will either warn and/or remove subscribed addresses that do this, because it's clearly abusive. ---rsk
