If possible, would the people who have spam filters set the

mention these words you get back several rejected copies of your

Many of the list administrators will periodically run a message to
look for auto-responders of this type and a quick note to him/her
with a sample that you're receiving will often result in the
offenders being forcefully unsubscribed or temporarily blocked from
the list which will take care of the problem for everyone at one
time.

I would have done that except for the fact that this is the result of
somebody in a school system who is running the computers and has no idea
of what is going on. I see a lot of this. The person who subscribed to
the forum has enough trouble and doesn't need any more. Remember, a
public school is the only place in the whole universe where you can be
an elementary gym teacher and be responsible for 2000 computers. I sent
the school an e-mail about the problem. They will probably shoot the
person who is subscribed to the forum. In far too many schools learning
about computers is an offence.
