Greets,

I've added a new kinosearch-commits mailing list, by popular demand
(: honest! :).

http://www.rectangular.com/mailman/listinfo/kinosearch-commits/

On another note, posters to this list may also notice that
responsiveness has improved. Turns out to have been an MTA issue.
Exim performs IDENT checks by default, and times out after 30
seconds. As the list readership has grown, we've accumulated a few
subscribers whose mail servers respond to IDENT with stony silence
rather than either a meaningful response or a firewall deny. Turning
off IDENT solves the problem.

That sounds excellent; thanks.

On a similar topic, I've noticed recently that the list messages I've
been receiving have apparently been sent out with the To: header munged
to contain my subscribed address. Is this deliberate? (And if not, is
it actually a problem at my end?) I'd much prefer the To: and Cc:
headers to be left as the poster sent them.

Was this a recent change?

Please tell me if it has changed back as of this message.

While tracking down the IDENT problem, I turned on "full
personalization" as per Mailman debugging instructions. I have now
switched it back off.

The first message I noticed it on was sent early in the morning of
2007-03-09 (UTC).

The 'net used to be such a nice, friendly place. Once could just drop in
to a friends machine with telnet and say "Hey, Bob, check THIS out..."

strcpy() was your friend in those days.

Now, -P INPUT DROP is your friend.
