Some moron in singapore (or some other country in the far
east) had his VACATION program bounce back the digests to
the kernel.

I mailed him about it and set up a procmail rule to bounce
the stuff back to him (counting on it that his mail server
was smaller than the one at my university :). This made him
shut up pretty quickly :)

From now on I will add the following rules to my .procmailrc
on my university's machine (so I don't have to download the
digests):

* ^Subject.*kernel-digest
* ^Sender.*owner-linux-kernel
* > 20000
/dev/null

(that is, until I find out how to do proper bouncing on
our rather restricted procmail system)

regards,
