Hi Jean,
Thanks for the links on infra participation in your other message.
I know that I don't have to reply to moderation messages... But the
same thing is often said about spam in general - "just hit delete" -
a solution I personally can't live with. Besides moderation spam is
worse than general spam, as I have to inspect all moderation messages
(moderation is enabled, I am a moderator, so I can't ignore my
duties :-)).
At the same time changing moderation to bouncing solves the problem
once and for all.
Andrus
