What are you a Troll?   D'uh!   The answer is simple:  DON'T USE
AUTORESPONDERS.   


He isn't banned, he's just unsubscribed, but I would put a 30-day hold
on him resubscribing.   He should be more careful w/ lists, if you know
you get lists, it is your responsibility to make sure that your rules
fire in such an order to prevent the lists from being spammed with
garbage traffic.

The only other option is for the list to set reply-to to the end user,
then only the people posting get hit.  BUt honestly I HATE that
approach. =).

VB programmers ask why no one takes them seriously, 
it's somewhat akin to a McDonalds manager asking employees 
why they don't take their 'career' seriously.
