There are two options:

a) I send too much email and have been caught by a net nanny?
b) Someone has spoofed our mailing lists and signed up some DMCA take down
service to yell at us in response to each email?

Suggestions?
Jody

Comment(by neteler):

The did the same in the GRASS lists. Due to the unhelpful autoreply I
removed them from the lists (this happens approx. every 10 years).

Comment:

I have run the command:

   sudo /usr/lib/mailman/bin --noadminack --nouserack --fromall
copyright@kickass.to

This appears to have removed this annoying subscriber from all lists. Let
me know if problems persist.
