FAQ above does explain - I haven't read it all.
Maybe you can tell us after you've read it.

Don't bother.  The message is spam.

Yes, but it's f***ing annoying.
I hope this can be 'fixed' somehow, but I actually doubt it.
Hope this won't be the future of spam ... :-/

maybe i'm a buit thick, but are you saying the 'anti spam' message is
spam or my message is spam?


i'd have thought using a spam filter on a members only list was a bit
redundant anyway.....

oh well

The message is generated by a list subscriber.  When you post to the
list, the subscriber sends the 'anti spam' message back directly to
the poster.

The returned messages are designed to cause confusion.

A spam filter is useless because the message never passes thorugh the
server.  As far as I can see, the only way to find the subscriber is
to send test messages to each subscriber one by one and see if a
'anti spam' message is returned.
