And this is why autoresponders are something people should think carefully about before using them. I use an autoresponder, too, on one of my old email addresses. But - you won't get more than one notice, ever - I'm able to see who sent the offending message, if it was something with forged sender and most importantly, - the autoresponder is on an address on a quite heavily armed machine (blocklists and spamassassin), so I don't autorespond to most spam. Sure, it's still possible that some people get a message from my autoresponder, and they have every right to be annoyed at me, as I am annoyed with people I get autoresponds from. But I figure that's a tradeoff I can live with. Now in Russel's case, apparently it's not one message, so the autoresponder in question is severely broken. Also, the user's brain is severely broken, since he apparently doesn't know what's going on, and that's the real problem. /me will vote for an Internet Driver's License cheers -- vbi -- P-K4
