I'm on the WINE <http://www.winehq.org> mailing list and have been
slammed by over 1000 messages in the last 24 hours and it still keeps
coming. I sent this off to the list admin in the early AM and you can
see his reply:

We did system maintenance on the WineHQ server yesterday.
Apparently, the gateway between the newsgroup and the mailing
list has been broken, and has been broken for some time.
The mail flood is the result of that break being repaired,
so that the two are now linked again. (You can see that the
emails flooding to wine-users are ones that originally were
posted to the newsgroup).
I'm not sure why the gateway broke, and I'm not sure why
it suddenly fixed itself. I'll poke around a bit, but
that's the explanation.
Cheers,
Jeremy
