Re: What is THE MOST RESPONSIVE email list on the internet? (fwd)

I was referring to when I sent an email to you, I have to reply to a confirmation email before my original email was delivered to you!. Your automodirator thing... ------ This is an automatic reply to an email you sent to a PHP project mailing address protected by our 'self-moderation' system. To reduce the amount of spam received at these addresses, we require you to confirm that you're a real person before your email will be allowed through. All you have to do in order to have your original message sent is send an email to confirm@php.net with the following text (square brackets and all): [confirm: 8032b3868d1c39e13cc4adc34946f6a5 dc-net@digital-concepts.net] which you should be able to do simply by replying to this email. (Don't worry, any leading text added for quoting will simply be ignored.) After we have received your confirmation, "dc-net@digital-concepts.net" will be added to the list of pre-approved mail addresses for all of the PHP project mail addresses, your original message will be delivered, and future emails from that address will be delivered without delay automatically. You will not receive any confirmation of your confirmation -- your original message (and any other messages you have sent since then) will simply be sent to its original destination (possibly after a short delay). Sorry for the hassle, but the volume of unsolicited commercial email sent to these addresses has made this step necessary. ----- I want to put something like this on my server, so that atleast it stops the forged spams.
