Every time I post to the fedora lists lately, I am getting an
autoresponder antispam message back from one of the list members:

[e-mail]

This is completely irresponsible behaviour, and bad netiquette.

The way I see it, there are 3 choices:

1) This person immediately disables this antispam confirmation
    bot and apologizes to the mailing list(s), promising to never
    do this again.

or

2) The list administrators kindly remove the person's address
    from the subscription list, transfering it to the permanent
    ban list.  If necessary, blocking the entire domain if the
    problem returns (uol.com.br).

or

3) I for one, will unsubscribe from all of the fedora lists,
    simply to avoid this nonesense.  I get 300 spam per day,
    and certainly don't need someone adding to it foolishly
    on subscription-only mailing lists.

If #2 becomes necessary, and the individual can not be identified,
I suggest blocking uol.com.br at the IP filter level on Red Hat
border routers.

So annoying it has it's own wiki page.

Since posting, I've been informed of the problem at a deeper level,
and of the FAQ on the Fedora Wiki, and the problems involved in
trying to do option #2.  In the mean time, a 4th option presented
itself:

4) Having uol.com.br blacklisted via the MTA by the admin of my
    domain.

It'd be cool if that could be done on the redhat.com domain also.

mgalgoci?

Another solution is to put descent email filtering on the lists or on your
system. These posts never passed my postfix+amavisd-new+clamav+sa filter,
I've been posting on the lists for months and only learn today of the
problem.

That's what I did. I set up a filter (through my server's cPanel
interface) that simply discards everything whose "From:" header contains
"@sspam.uol.com.br". I find such behaviour downright rude and *very*
inconsiderate...
