[Mailman-Developers] Replybot change proposed

[Barry A. Warsaw]

I propose that the Replybot not send responses to any message marked
"Precedence: bulk" unless there is a corresponding "X-Ack: yes"
header.

I also propose that the -request robot discard all similarly formatted
messages.

I think this will drastically cut down on the number of bogus replybot
storms, and vulnerability of robot addresses being subscribed.

There's not much we can do about broken replybots, but we can at least
guard against properly written ones.

Does anybody have any objections?
