The OpenSSL mailing lists have been down for the last week. This should be fixed now. Wrt queries I used to answer almost all of them, this took a ridiculous amount of time and seriously hampered my OpenSSL development work. Now I assign a lower priority to certain classes of query for example: 1. Those answered in the FAQ. 2. Those clearly answered in the documentation. 3. Those that have been covered before in the mailing lists. 4. Those which don't relate to OpenSSL but packages that use OpenSSL (mod_ssl, Apache-SSL etc). 5. Those where incomplete or no information is given. The last category is very annoying. Some people seem to think that "it doesn't work" is a complete bug report: no mention of error messages, the OS being used, any relevant files etc. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N.
