I think it's *probably* the thing about dialup addresses; as a spam-prevention
measure, (I reserve judgment on this) perl5-porters uses the DUL list of
dialup hosts to block mail. This is ostensibly because it's easier to send
spam from a dial-up address than through an ISP's SMTP host. The fix is to set
your local MUA to be a smarthost forwarding mail to your ISP.

It's not obvious to me!

Oops. I think I just expected that everybody likes null-terminated strings.
Meine Störung, danke.
