would put an exception for subscriptions. grrrrr

yah, proper "vacation" programs should know not to respond to "bulk"
mail.  Unfortunately, some of the more common implementations are not so
smart.

But why did I get the message below from the Lugnet Server?

Response from the news server:
441 Invalid mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19)

that is because that mail server (I think it's exchange?) does not
reply to mail correctly, and breaks the threading on LUGNET.  Since we
can't fix the mail server, or write a workaround to still thread around
it's bugs, messages from it are rejected.  Post via nntp or the web if
you're unlucky enough to use that server.

Sorry...

But I did post via the web.

(...) that can't be right? if you look at the message the server bounced at you, it has an html copy of the message, etc - seems like it was an email sent to the mailing list? or am I misunderstanding here? Dan (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
