Shore 'nuff, I received an autoresponse from spambully.com, and they
have now been added to my global block list, as well as exported to a
few of my clients' servers. (Interestingly, for one of my clients, this
would be an especially ugly problem because he's installed his own TMDA
and so his users would never see the SpamBully messages in the first
place. Duelling TMDAs.)
Whoever's using SpamBully, I *strongly* recommend you stop. Their
service is hazardous, and should be shunned. If you want proper spam
protection, install a TMDA on your OWN hardware, and make bloody sure it
1) knows how to ignore mailing list email, and 2) automatically adds any
address that you send mail *to*.
Spam prevention must be done, but it must be done responsibly.
