This is happening to everybody who posts. okpcm.com had a user who was
subscribed to this list, and who no longer exists. Unfortunately, they also
appear to no longer have anybody in their organization who has the know-how
to send an email. They no longer have anybody in charge of their Internet
connection.
What needs to happen, IMNERHO, is that Red Hat needs to remove
[EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list. End of problem.
Unfortunately, you can't filter it, because okpcm.com forges the headers to
make it look like the message comes from the person who sent the original.
I.E., if [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends an email to this list, he gets a bounceback
from okpcm.com, but the bounceback says it is from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So you'd need to filter based on something other than the "from" line. Say,
"received" lines or message-id fragments. Or just "okpcm.com" anywhere in
the message.
I tried to get okpcm.com to fix it themselves, but I ended up spending 15
minutes explaining what a mailing list was to the guy on the phone.
Maddening. I don't think he ever did understand, and the promised phone
call from their IT staff (which I'm not convinced they really have) hasn't
materialized yet.
