The usual procedure is that you let Marc (scrappy at hub dot org) know
about it, and the offender will be summarily unsubscribed.  Autoreplies
to list traffic are considered sufficient grounds for ejection around
here.  Personally, I might cut people a break for a misconfigured
"vacation" program, on the expectation that the annoyance is temporary
... but don't *ever* send me a prove-you-aren't-spam challenge in
response to mail from a list you subscribed to.

(BTW, right at the moment Marc is on vacation, so don't expect super
fast response...)
