Problem is that the UOL anti-spam responder doesn't include any part of
the original email.  Just uses the subject line.


What if list admin would make script that sends mail to every user with unique subject that contains username?


After looking over one of the problem mails very carefully, I have to
agree, that's the only way.  (For an "anti spam" effort, this is pretty
amusing actually: it's mail that requests you to click on a supplied
link without providing *any* evidence that this has anything to do with
you.  I'd ordinarily consider such a message as either spam or a
trojan horse/phishing attempt.)

Those messages come from a variety of addresses at that domain. We had problems with Peter Whalley there a while ago. Those in charge of their mail servers might like to block the emails: I use this in postfix:
/^From:.*AntiSpam.*uol.com.br/ REJECT Fix your mail service

In the past, I've found RH list maintainers unresponsive, but you could try them.
