About half a dozen messages like this one are posted here every week:
PLEASE READ! (sorry to shout)
All subscription requests should be sent to cypherpunks-request@toad.com
Despite this, every day there are several "Unsubscribe me, NOW!" messages, with various degrees of politeness.
Folks, I am not going to repeat the instructions again. This is becuase of the following conclusions I have reached:
... I've seen before, and if I breakdown and write my own software I'm going to improve on, mailing list software that refuses to send messages to the list that look suspicious. Rules like: <3 lines non-blank body, occurance of remove, me, unsubscribe, help, subscribe, etc. These generate a message giving details, and of course you could even guess what the person wanted. Looks like a necessary evolution in net software... I typically try reasonable auto commands for a new mailing list until I know there's a person there. sdw -- Stephen D.
