So who's the spammer trying to get people to respond to this garbage?
I am not responding to it, I already have too much spam coming in as it is.
I have spam filter programs that work quite well without doing this Smile.

    Its actually from another list Earl and I belong to -- Stamp listers need
    not be worried. Unfortunately you can't tell where its from other than if
    you recognize the subject line.

    A subscriber on another list Earl and I are both on uses this ISP and he
    recently turned on this filter Smile. Since our list sets the reply-to as the
    sender rather than the list (like this list), anyone who sends a message to
    the list gets a spam message from this moron's ISP every time the list
    attempts to deliver a message to them.

    The list owners have written to the ISP and asked that they deal with it in
    a timely manner or they will be forced to unsubscribe the user. I've got
    both the ISP's and the user's phone number and they will get an unpleasant
    anonymous call from a payphone tomorrow if this keeps up.

    Well I thought it was from this list, and that someone had setup a account
    to extract email addresses from the people in the list.
    According to Rodent, it may have been the person who had a account with that
    ISP with then being in the DPRG mail group.

    Maybe the DPRG admin guy needs to drop him from the list.
