spam reply to my elecraft posting

[k7nhb]

Elecraft mailman,
A few minutes after I posted, via your email address, a reply to a
news group topic I received the following email. Note that my post
hasn't yet appeared in the newsgroup list - so I'm guessing this came
directly from something between me and you. I translated the Dutch
but it doesn't make sense - unless some kind of spam  is attached to
your incoming email.

I'll be curious as to what you find out.
73,
Paul

Relax!  There's no need to be paranoid about a simple mistake made by a
fellow on vacation.  It's not spam.

If you had indeed translated the Dutch (which does make sense), then you
know that what you got was an automated "out of office for vacation" type
reply that some configure their office e-mail system to send whenever an
e-mail arrives while they are away, as apparently Andre Koopman has done.

Sometimes people forget that e-mails from any lists to which they subscribed
will trigger this response.  Sometimes a list will even repeat it as a new
posting.  Fortunately, because only the original poster's email address
shows up in the "From" line in Elecraft list postings, only the poster gets
the automated reply.

A very minor inconvenience, IMHO.
