I wonder if anyone can help this guy with his auto-responder so that
he doesn't get into trouble for spamming the lists.
Normally I take care of email-related queries in -newbies or by personal
mail if necessary, to avoid burdening -questions with basic skills, but he
doesn't seem to be seeing anything I post to the list, probably including
the weekly reposting about how to use -newbies. That makes it difficult
for him to do his learning in the correct place and puts him at risk of
appearing to go against list charters despite correction which he has
never seen.
If it's problems with a script, it probably belongs here anyway though I
cannot advise him of that. Or perhaps someone using XFMail can see how it
was done. He may still be using POP. Sorry, I would have obtained more
details if I could.
PLEASE NOTE that the context is freebsd-newbies where learners
engaging in a bit of unusual behaviour is tolerated in an environment
based on friendship, acceptance, and learning to learn together.
The issue for -questions is purely a technical one.
