Hmmmm... Unlawful email bomb? My understanding is that the entire problem
of spaming, which you reportedly enage in (and admitted such in another
message), is at best a grey area. Otherwise you'd probably be needing that
legal department to defend yourself.
I'd suggest you read up on the concept of a mailing list.
[email protected] is one of those. If you send a message there, it'll
reach all 1400 people who've actually signed up (note the difference from
spamming? They *requested* it!). To me it looks like you got subscribed.
send a message to [email protected] with the text of "unsubscribe
cypherpunks" and you'll be removed. Speaking of which, remove me from the
list you mentioned in your other message....
>It is illegal to use a invalid return email address.
Really? I must have missed the E-Mail Regulations Act of 1996 . . .
Speaking of which,
Reply-to: [email protected] (Chris Adams)
must be a valid address; your inane message reached me, right?

Hmmmm... The message I sent to the list actually got distributed to the
list. That majordomo thingie must work, after all...
