Help, I've been blacklisted!

[Michael Elizabeth Chastain]

"Help help, I'm being oppressed!"

Some time around 2003-10-23 05:00:00 UTC, my mail to gdb@sources.redhat.com
and gdb-patches@sources.redhat.com started getting bounced with
"failure notice".  Attached is the first bounced mail.

I followed the instructions and I sent a message from mec@shout.net to:

  global-allow-subscribe-mec=shout.net@sources.redhat.com

It didn't help.

I'm still subscribed to gdb@ and gdb-patches@ and receiving mail
from them, but I can't send any mail.

Looking over my 'sent' file, it looks like this happened shortly after
I wrote a mail to 'patches@sources.redhat.com' by accident.  I'm sure
I didn't send to aaaspam though.

  Hi. This is the qmail-send program at sources.redhat.com.
  I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
  This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

  <gdb-patches@sources.redhat.com>:
  Sorry, I've been told to reject your posts.
   
  If you are not a "spammer", we apologize for the inconvenience.
  You can add yourself to the sources.redhat.com "global allow list"
  by sending email *from*the*blocked*email*address* to:
    
      global-allow-subscribe-mec=shout.net@sources.redhat.com
   
  This will enable you to send email without being subjected to
  further spam blocking.
   
  Contact gdb-patches-owner@sources.redhat.com if you have questions about this. (#5.7.2)

"patches" is one of many aliases for aaaspam gleaned from watching the
mail logs for obvious attempts to send spam to sources.redhat.com.

I've removed you from the deny list.
