All nite long i've been spammed by the account asoiau1632@yahoo.com. I'm sure we've all seen the numerous messages on here.
Anyway - my autoresponder has been responding to these messages and as a result a number of bounced email ended up redirected to the cypherpunks lists.
Actually, I only got the originals. It looks like the mail kept going through the CDR nodes because one of them was re-sending it. Its hard to tell from the headers, but I think it's minder.net. If your autobounce was just feeding back the message that you receive with no changes (error headers, etc) to minder then you might have been the cause. Otherwise, there's some other problem. (if you didn't see it because you're subscribed to a filtering CDR that filtered them, it was about 400 copies of spam). Either way, you shouldnt set up an autobounce that can reply to a list. Please fix it so it won't do that. Eric
I have recently /dev/null all email from asoiau1632@yahoo.com - so the bounces should stop soon.

wow busy little beaver. i think isaw about 100 of those before i filtered them on this end.

had a look at it - the autoresponder was sending to the list owner at minder - not the actual list. normally it's a very well behaved autoresponder and only responds once to a new email address - ignores lists. But It was sending the list owner a new reponse each time the spam was recived. regards joe Joe Baptista http://www.dot-god.com/ The dot.GOD Registry, Limited
procmail samples add 'X-Loop' or a similar header so that you don't respond to a double bounce. Choate's sample CDR recipe does something similar. You should add something like that. There is also some incompatibility between the nodes that causes some bounces to go out to the lists. On Tuesday, 18 Dec 2001 at 11:11, !Dr. Joe Baptista <baptista@pccf.net> wrote:
