Ok, it seems somebody is running a cron script or similar
to keep resubscribing that [email protected] address
to linux-kernel.
So if you see the "moderation" message back from a posting
you make to linux-kernel, please dont' report it to us here
at vger.kernel.org, we know about it.

So block them using the /etc/mail/access database for sendmail
and do it with a "451" error code. The data will back up on their
mail server and start clogging their mail spool till they get a clue.
(Ok... 5 day expiration on the messages, but ITMT, they get several
warning and error messages from each too).

We don't use sendmail at vger, we use zmailer. Sendmail could
not keep up with the load :-)
And yes I've done the zmailer equivalent (manual SPAM block database)
of what you've suggested.
