support@ant.co.uk is the helpdesk address for ANT Ltd, and the message
you have received is the standard acknowledgement it emits when
someone emails it.

It looks as though a netbsd-help subscriber there has accidentally
forwarded some of their mail to the support address.  Alternatively,
for the paranoid, someone has maliciously subscribed them to
netbsd-help in order to embarrass them.

Of course, there's a lot to be said for taking the same precautions on
a mailing list as you would on a newsgroup, in case a real spammer
does decide to harvest addresses.
