Messages are being SILENTLY DISCARDED. (Misdirecting them to some obscure web page would have essentially the same effect.) You say the problem is that _I_ am not doing something. But a whole bunch of namedroppers messages from _other_ people have also been listed as coming from non-subscribers. How many more messages have been lost--- or deliberately thrown away by Bush? THE PROCEDURE IS FLAWED! As for my own sender address djb@cr.yp.to, Bush has already taken manual action---but what he did was _not_ adding the address to a list of known addresses. Instead, he started putting my subscription address on top of all my messages to the list---shortly after I had informed him that I kept _that_ address private to limit the number of people who can forge unsubscription requests. I don't care whether Bush's decisions can be adequately explained by stupidity. The decisions shouldn't be made by hand in the first place. The only acceptable ways to process a message to a standardization mailing list are (1) to immediately pass it through unchanged to the subscribers or (2) to immediately bounce it. The decision between #1 and #2 must be made by objective standards. The bounces must clearly and thoroughly explain the standards. The standards must allow the sender to straightforwardly arrange for #1. ---D. J.
