Every time I post to the fedora lists lately, I am getting an

This is completely irresponsible behaviour, and bad netiquette.
The way I see it, there are 3 choices:
1) This person immediately disables this antispam confirmation
bot and apologizes to the mailing list(s), promising to never
do this again.
or
2) The list administrators kindly remove the person's address
from the subscription list, transfering it to the permanent
ban list. If necessary, blocking the entire domain if the
problem returns (uol.com.br).
or
3) I for one, will unsubscribe from all of the fedora lists,
simply to avoid this nonesense. I get 300 spam per day,
and certainly don't need someone adding to it foolishly
on subscription-only mailing lists.
If #2 becomes necessary, and the individual can not be identified,
I suggest blocking uol.com.br at the IP filter level on Red Hat
border routers.
Since posting, I've been informed of the problem at a deeper level,
and of the FAQ on the Fedora Wiki, and the problems involved in
trying to do option #2. In the mean time, a 4th option presented
itself:
4) Having uol.com.br blacklisted via the MTA by the admin of my
domain.
It'd be cool if that could be done on the redhat.com domain also.
