Hi Jim, Can't the node operators set up some sort of filter to catch bounce messages and prevent them from being sent to the list? It seems logical to block anything from postmaster@, MAILER-DAEMON, etc... Just a thought... Alex On Fri, 16 Feb 2001, Jim Choate wrote:
Hi Peter
He isn't subscribed through SSZ, no nihilist.com or another.com in the bunch. If another alias comes to light please pass it along and I'll delete it.
As an aside, I usually only let bounces from SSZ subscribers last about a week. If it isn't fixed in that time I figure it isn't going to.

Jim (and other cypherpunk node operators):
The spate of "Mail Delivery Failure" messages we've been seeing for the last few days are due to messages sent to a user "rob@nihilist.com", apparently a very temporary (and now dead) web mail address at www.another.com.
I've exchanged mail with the postmaster (richard@uk.another.com), and he clearly regards this as Someone Elses Problem, and has no intention of ceasing to send the bounce notices.
I strongly advise everyone running a cpunk node to check for, and delete rob@nihilist.com. It's not like he/she/it can't resubscribe if they want to.
Sigh.... Yet Another Attack now exists against the cypherpunks S/N ratio.
