"Internet Mail Service" spam

2000-09-22 17:50:02
What am I supposed to understand from these missives, except that those
responsible should not have subscribed to the IETF's or any network or
computer professional mailing list?  I've seen very similar messages from
some of these individuals many times over the last months months and I
think in one case, years.

These are only the first 7 vacation punishments for my note.  I'll probably
receive a few more before they stop.  A year ago, 1 or 2 vacation
punishments was a bad day.  Now it's 7!

There are the 3Com junk, the far too familiar missive from Germany, and
the 5 "Internet Mail Service" spam.
How about automatically unsubscribing anyone who is so ignorant or uncaring
to use whatever MUA that adds the "X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service" header?

This email was automatically generated in response to your email to a 
person whose address has changed (or perhaps has left 3Com).

Unfortunately, our mail server was unable to determine the recipient of
your message.  The most likely cause for this is that the individual you
are trying to reach has left 3Com and did not leave any email forwarding
address.
