[members-discuss] remove automated ticket system reply from member discussion list

Hi,

I think that RIPE should unsubscribe those folks from the list for several reasons:
1. RFC 3834 explicitly says that vacation programs should not reply unless the "on vacation" address is explicitly in the To: or cc: headers. So each vacation program autoresponding to this list (or to the sender of messages) is wrong, and lame.
2. Any automated reply (away messages, delivery errors, ticket confirmations) should go to the Return-Path address, as requested per RFC 2821; sending automated replies to and address stolen in the "From:" header or in the To:/cc: headers is wrong, and lame.
3. Subscribing any kind of robot to this list means that you do not understand what this list is, and this is wrong, and lame.

RIPE folks: please, do unsubscribe from this list ANYTHING that sends automated replies, and blacklist them forever. Thanks.

A.
