e-mail harvesting. ;)

About an hour after posting my auction announcement (see above) the following
email appeared in my inbox:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Subject: RE: FA: eBay - Minifigs, mostly Castle (confirm please)
the.pikes@ntlworld.com here,
I am controlling the email that is sent to my inbox. By asking for you to
confirm that you really sent email to me I can ensure that I receive no spam

There’s several services now in effect that block e-mail that is computer
generated (aka spam) as opposed to human generated. The way these services
work is they reply to all incoming messages similarly to what you received.
The website that you visit usually displays a graphic containing a series of
numbers or letters that you must type. The intent is that a robot would be
unable to recognize the characters in the graphic, and therefore unable to
automatically bypass this authentication.
I assume that the.pikes@ntlworld.com has e-mail subscribed to LUGNET, not a
nice thing to do with this blocker in effect. Perhaps a LUGNET Admin should
unsubscribe them until they provide a non-blocked e-mail address.
