After studying the headers a bit more I wrote an e-mail to a specific
support@ address (which I will not reproduce here) and I even got an
answer

Supposedly the autoresponder is turned off now. Please reply to this if
you see more of those mails.

Kind regards,
Andrei

You are truly living a wondeful life to have gotten a response! :-)
I discussed it with the Debian listmasters but there was a lot of head
scratching all around.

I didn't get an autoreply from my recent postings. Thank you for
pursuing this further.

Hopefully we have seen the last of the joe1assistly bad robot!

Hi Andrei, I share Bob Proulx's comment: " Thank you for
pursuing this further." [2]

Now this message is also a test. If you don't hear from me hear again,
that is a sign that you exterminated "joe1assistly bad robot"!

It looks like we got a new internet "meme"!

Cheers,
Beco

I already "abused" your (Beco's) thread to test it. No Joe anymore .

Too funny, somebody and I misbehaved and Joe became an issue for Beco's
thread, but in the end everything became good.

Morphic resonance, god, or simply human nature? I suspect "simply human
nature". Shit happens and we are able to manage such issues.
