Hello
I'm just about had it. I received this email, and I'm no longer
willing to explain all this again and again. If this list is not wanted,
I'll colse it down ;) But I bet one or two of you have the time and
patience to explain this person what really is going on in the world...
Oh, btw. Jaakko Korpela is doing a great job, I have nothing against him
or any other people at the cc: section. It's just this Mike guy who owns
the whole wide world...
I think I'll take a long walk now.
Yours truly
Hannu Kaikonen <rp-adm@ltk.hut.fi>

Subject: Re: FW: Spam (rp-ml@ltk.hut.fi -mailing list)
Jaakko, there is a fundamental flaw here. This rp-ml list has a lot of
addresses it should not have--as seen by the amount of Unsubscribes and
Removes. So how did the addresses get there?? Do you have some sort of
bot to collect the addresses illegally?? I have to assume the addressee
did not add himself or why else does he/she constantly asked to be
removed. On that same topic, why does the rp-ml not remove the addresses
when requested? There are instructions on how to remove addresses but I
will bet the messages are just ignored. Why???? Why have such a list
when people do not want it?? All it does is recirculate junk mail.
Comments?
Why not send out a genuine message to everybody on the list to ask if
they had any problems and ask them if they would like to be removed (for
real this time!!) I will bet you would flooded with responses!!!
BTW FYI, the rp-ml address has already been removed. I have also setup a
filter to block this site by domain name and numerical address.
Mike...
