What exactly is going on? The folks at mpcustomer.com have a badly-written (per RFC-3834) autoresponder robot. It generates responses with a From: header copied from the original human sender. Some childish script kiddie, upon becoming aware of such a poorly designed system, forged a subscription between it and the FreeBSD mailing lists, so people posting to the list get spammed by mpcustomer.com tickets. Given that doesn't work, I've been reporting this spam to the ISP hosting their netblock, . Regards, -- -Chuck
