I attempted to subscribe to the Libre Office User’s group last week, and received the following autoreply from the listbot:

… while talking to bilbo.documentfoundation.org.:

This is actually a sort of “false positive”. I’m not a spammer; the reason I have two different IPs in sending and receiving mail is simply so I can avail myself of my
ISP’s Postini facility. Please instruct the listbot to “lemme in!”
