Given the amount of spam gnu.org relays, the auto*tools's list policy finally should be reconsidered. Face it, this is not 1994 anymore, the internet has lost its innocence, and badly maintained open lists like the auto*tools lists on gnu.org are a relict of the past. > Hope that helps, No, AFAIS, somebody at gnu.org seems to have configured their mailserver in a way, I seem to have been automatically unsubscribed from many of their lists without prior notice. Worse, the gnu.org-mailserver now seems to filter out way too much, in such a way most of my postings doesn't seem to make it through the gnu.org server. Sorry, if this sounds like ranting, but I feel something needs to change. Ralf
