That maybe so, but it's dumb for it to keep sending it. It should
give up after 1 or more attempts and mail the sender to say it
failed to deliver.
Actually doing so would be really bad as random network glitches,
server restarts etc would cause you to get failed to deliver messages
instead of mail server retrying delivery later and succeeding. But I
must admit that it is really annoying to see the same messages over
and over and over again. So much so that I'll be installing some sort
of filter soon.
I wonder how the list-server is configured as this is the only list
that has this problem. So either the other lists I use don't have
gmail users or something is wrong with openmoko's server. Perhaps it
has too much load or there is some nasty spam/virus filter box that
isn't playing nice or something else. Anyways, it would be very nice
if this problem could be fixed. Either by fixing the server or
perhaps gmail users could stop mailing to this list :))
