There seems to be something strange going on - I'm subscribed via my
isp (virginmedia) and I didn't get any of Richard's or Hazel's posts
on this subject. This morning I got a message to say my membership
on lfs-support had been disabled due to excessive list bounces.
I've just looked at the archive to see what I had missed, and the
only thing that I noticed was those posts from Richard and Hazel.
I know that virgin's current mail provider is a bit tighter on spam
because I regularly get test messages from freebsd-questions after
messages are (rightly) rejected as spam.
At the moment I'm also frequently getting unsubscribed from lkml -
monday last week, and yesterday.
My guess is that all the big companies are implementing different,
and excessive/incompatible attempts to block spam - without much
overall success.
