Maybe your ISP had spam filters blocking vim-list mail, and their
criteria have been somehow adjusted?
About the time when the vim lists were transferred from some server at
(IIRC) FU-Berlin to googlegroups, I got an address @gmail.com because ML
mail didn't arrive at my ISP address and I thought gmail was less likely
to block Google Groups mail. Since then I've found out that Gmail spam
filters don't destroy suspect messages, they hold them at some place
where you can still get at them by webmail.
Best regards,
Tony.
