Administrivia:

I am upgrading my incoming mail server to add greylisting and a few
more spam traps.  The first mail you send to dirvish at dirvish.com 
after this may suffer a few minutes of delay, while your mail server
proves its bona fides to mine.

There may also be some breakage;  if posting to the list no longer
works, send email to the address below with the name of your mail
server.  If you can't get through after a few hours, call the 
number below or add a message to the wiki. 

You may also see some test messages, marked "testing mailing list
please ignore".

Finally, if there is a zombied computer somewhere on your network
sending email through the same mail gateway that you use, you may
have difficulty reaching this list in the future.  Let me know and
I will whitelist your machine.  Also, fix the zombie and LART its
owner, please.

Sorry for the annoyance - right now my server is averaging 3 spam
attempts per second, and it is becoming very expensive to back up
the gigantic mail logs, even with dirvish.  We've kept the list
spam free so far, and I want to keep it that way.

BTW, we have 94 subscribers to the list - when we pass 100, time
for a party!  Your continent or mine?

Keith
