I subscribed to the Dovecot Users mailing list, not "Whatever spam Timo thinks is justifiable."
I'm about ready to add you to my PLONK file Bill.
Not necessary in regards to this list, as I'm moments away from doing that for you.
That is ridiculous... if a formal announcement about a commercial support company that has Timo's blessing isn't pertinent to participants on the dovecot support list, then what is?
Such an announcement was made months ago, to the list. I agree that is a reasonable use of the list. That announcement was not a direct message to a filter-exempted list-specific address. It also wasn't composed in broken MS-specific almost-HTML, so it was short and easily skimmed past.
Just admit you made a silly mistake and move on...
I don't believe it was silly, but I certainly made a mistake in that I had not anticipated how Timo views this mailing list.
If you wish to engage in a public debate over the precise definition of "spam" then I must decline. I burnt out on that sport some years ago after years of repetitive and largely fruitless effort.
