Don't like that very much. Some problems can strike across boundaries (e.g. X
bug gets both KDE and Gnome). AFAICT, the existing list manager (yavin and/or
moseisley.mandrax.org) is just plain wonky and needs taking out and shooting.
* My own copies of Sympa just don't do that; and
* I've never had PostFix do anything bizarre or even unexpected
(contrast that with MS-Exchange), which lets out the software on
Yavin; and
* AFAICT no non-list Mandrake mail goes walkies, which lets out
smtp.mandrakesoft.com unless it's dedicated to Cooker traffic; and
* this leaves one of:
* bandwidth; or
* hardware (I'm inclined to discount this since most messages seem
to get through eventually); or
* the software on Moseisley (neither Moseisley nor Smtp admit to
being PostFix, nor do they generate PostFix-looking message queue
IDs).
The only other oddity I can see in the headers is that some clocks are
evidently off by a few minutes (mail arriving at the next hop before it's
sent, that kind of thing).
