The problem is that someone is subscribing with a mail account, bouncing it to an account at uol.com.br which has severe anti-spam restrictions which is bombarding any sender to this list. Self defense dictates that we filter them to /dev/null using procmail/sieve on the server, rejects on the server or mail filters in your mail program. Under the banner of a good offense makes a great defense, I proposed some type of tar pit set up by a number of fedora users and within minutes, the smtp servers at uol.com.br will be shut down and they will investigate the issue.
