Yeah I got that message on 17th, so I guess it may depend on who is sending the 
messages from SL
Cheers

RE: Security ERRATA Important: kernel on SL6.x i386/x86_64

[Bill Maidment]

Well, I'm running postfix with the default header_size_limit of 102,400, so I 
don't think that's the issue and there are no reject messages in the mail logs 
to indicate any problem. It seems that the mailing list is not always sending 
me the emails.
Another mystery from the bowels of technology!
Cheers
Bill

The SL email system was also broken for a while. A message came through 
about that within the last couple of days.

Kudos to the SL team at FNAL for once again getting the updates for 
a really nasty issue out incredibly quickly. Impressive.

Last November I was "automatically removed from the 
SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-USERS list (Mailing list for Scientific Linux users 
worldwide)  as a result of repeated delivery error reports from your mail 
system."  So one possibility is that your mail system is occasionally 
failing to deliver mail to you from this list, but you haven't yet been 
removed.  In my case, the reason was that the listserver sometimes sends 
email with a header longer than 32768 bytes, which the SLAC mail system 
couldn't handle.  FermiLab said such long headers are becoming necessary 
because "cloud systems that everyone has and will be moving to, add 
additional diagnostic info in the headers so if people report any errors, 
they can more easily be diagnosed."  The solution was to convince the 
managers of SLAC's mail system to increase their incoming header size 
parameter.

Kudos to the SL team at FNAL for once again getting the updates for a really
