All this is, is a spam filter that someone at thump@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
is running. It's determined that the mail you sent "might" be spam.
So, it automatically sends the reply below, saying "Please verify you're
a real person, and not a spam bot". This isn't a virus, trojan, or =
anything
to be feared. Your mail will sit in quarantine for some preconfigured=20
amount of time, say, 1 week or 2 weeks. If, before the quarantine =
expires,
you reply to that mail, then your original mail will be marked as NOT =
SPAM,
and delivered to thump@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx If you choose to not reply to =
this
mail, then the original mail you sent will automatically be deleted, and =
the
recipient will never see it. Generally, if you reply to one of these =
one time,
your email address will be whitelisted, and you'll never need to reply =
to one=20
again.
I've been meaning to set one of these up myself (I get a LOT of spam), =
but I've
never gotten around to it.
Hope that helps clarify what was going on,
-Mark
