No, most of us are not.  Since this responder doesn't preserve enough of 
the message headers to allow the perp to be identified by any means but 
a customized subject line per list subscriber, and I understand this 
was done once on one of the lists, and that sub then canceled, but he 
was back within 24 hours, probably with a different name.  This could, 
I assume, be put into a script and made automatic, to be run in the 
middle of the night when things are slow, but hasn't been for unk 
reasons.

Each of those C/R's is a bit over 4kb, so it is a waste of bandwidth, 
but uol.com.br actually sells this as a value added service & doesn't 
care if its an inconvienience and resource waster for the rest of the 
planet.

We just filter it to /dev/null with procmail.  I hope that there is 
justice in this somewhere and that the perp is not getting ANY messages 
from the mailing lists he is harrassing, FWIW this one is not the only 
one.

What I suspect is happening is that he is getting them ok, but is auto 
forwarding them to this other account, which does generate the C/R.
My thoughts on someone doing that and not understanding the 'side 
effect' of doing it relate pointedly to his geneology and aren't 
printable in mixed company.

FWIW, here is the procmail recipe I use:
-----
:0:
* ^From: AntiSpam UOL <.*@uol.com.br>
/dev/null
# /$HOME/mail/uol_crap
-----
Move the comment character # up one line if you want to save a copy of 
it, but it WILL be 100's of kilobytes in a week.  I suppose one could 
write a crontab rule to delete it and re-touch it weekly/daily/hourly, 
but /dev/null is just so handy IMO.

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
