I thought it was hilarious that I found this in my list admin alias, immediately
after I sent off a post about folks not reading stuff sent to them. Here is an
example. Happens to be AOL subscriber, but this is merely coincidental.
Scenario:
I send detailed instructions on the 1st and the 15th on admin commands, how to
get off, etiquettes and so forth. Yesterday was the 1st. Occasionally, unsub command
instructions are included as part of the distributed message itself. Each message
also has instructions in headers, which is largely useless, I have to admit. I have
changed message id and user name to protect the innocent.
I also filter commands sent to the list address, which generates a help message back
to the sender. This person repeatedly sends the SAME commands to the list address
and obviously does NOT read the help message from the bot.
For brevity, I have deleted other headers added by the list manager software before
it routed the message to me. The message was processed for distribution, but sent
to me for approval because of offensive word filtering. But it illustrates the
problem we face.
