[OT (slightly) ] Re: Please confirm your message

[Alex Tweedly]

Every time I send a message to the use-rev list, I get an email such as 
the one below. It's from a list member who hasn't had the good grace to 
set up his spam filters to accept mail from the list that he (or she) 
joined. Seems to me it's kind of impolite to join a list and then expect 
every other contributor to take extra action to accommodate your spam 
filters.

I haven't yet taken the action suggested, and in fact, I'm not ever 
going to take it, because it violates my idea of how things "should" 
work, so pretty soon, I'll get around to blacklisting "MAILER-DAEMON at his 
domain"  in my filters so I don't see these messages.

Am I the only grumpy old man who doesn't like this ?
Is it reasonable to ask the "guilty" party to fix their filters if they 
wish to remain on the list ?
    (Yes, I do realize he or she is probably not seeing this message  :-)

In fact, would it be reasonable to ask the list maintainer to *ensure* 
he fixes it ?
