<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi Folks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> A case of spam protection overkill.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><A href="mailto:jh@ekc.vic.edu.au">jh@ekc.vic.edu.au</A> has
subscribed to the itapps mailing list. No harm in that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>When the itapps list writes to <A
href="mailto:jh@eks.vic.edu.au">jh@eks.vic.edu.au</A> , his/her email gateway
challenges the itapps list address to identify itself as friend or foe by
writing back to <A
href="mailto:itapps@edulists.com.au">itapps@edulists.com.au</A>. What does that
do ? Creates a mailing loop as the list writes back to all subscrbers, one of
which is <FONT size=3><A href="mailto:jh@ekc.vic.edu.au"><FONT
size=2>jh@ekc.vic.edu.au</FONT></A><FONT size=2> whose gateway sends out
another challenge. </FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Identical to out of office replies. A pain in the neck
and on the netiquette guidelines as an unacceptable feature of
email use for subscribers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am in the process of removing all email from the domain
ekc.vic.edu.au and the lag time this takes is what will test your
patience.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Keep well</FONT></DIV>
