linux-diald@vger seems to be broken at the moment - I
sent this plea for help back on 17 July, requests for
administrative help to owner-linux-diald and postmaster@vger
last week and haven't made any progress.
Is there someone here who can and will give me some
useful advice about getting diald set up?
