Here, I think, Anne was asking what made my post go through this time.
I had a line starting with a dot ('.') and then two line breaks, (LF + LF)
which I suspect was interpreted as an 'End of message' as in the
SMTP-protocol. However I'm not sure, but I got through when I removed it.

I'm using Knode to read the list, but I have to 'confirm' my post via mail
by the listserver, which make me think its running with SMTP.

The point my post was making, is that eventhough I'm running a 2-3 years old
mdk, it still can get security updates; which I think is excellent.

It seems a likely explanation.  Glad you got it sorted
