T-online.de email addresses seem to become more and more obsolete. hotmail.com and outlook.com block t-online, you get blocked by t-online. lkml blocked t-online about 8 years ago. I changed my lilydevel subscription to knup...@gmail.com. AFAICS administrators seem to hesitate to block gmail.com as it is big enough to be important ;-) Yes, cairomm was a bad idea.
