Re: Problem since [ga] list changed over...

["L. Gallegos" <jandl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Personally, I think that anyone who does not eliminate subscriptions from 
autoresponders should be removed from those subscribed lists.  I get so many of 
them now on different lists that it just adds to my disk total disk usage and fills up my 
box.  When it goes over the max free allowed, I'm charged for it.  Either that or the 
space is used up and I cannot receive further mail or ftp files to websites.  Most ISPs 
have quotas on disk space.  These "dumb" responders are uncalled for and are just 
more spam.  People should use different addresses for mail lists than they do for the 
ones that use autoresponders.  The same is true for challenge/response.  I now 
block addresses that send c/r, along with other spam.  I guess I'll have block 
addresses with autoresponders too when they come in from list members.  I'm tired 
of paying for it one way or another.
