Yes, a malfunctioning gateway sent copies of a number of postings back
to us, with headers that resulted in our autoreplier sending messages
to the original posters. Our apologies for the inconvenience (on
behalf of the gateway's owner, I suppose), and apologies in advance
for the "we got a copy of your posting without any Approved: header,
but it seems to be fine now" message you're likely to get in a month
or two when we don't notice that they're just spew.
