Re: RSS on Mail-Archive

Glad to hear that's working for you. The difference is we now have
"RSS" feeds joining the existing "RDF" feeds. The two feeds are doing
essentially the same thing so this really shouldn't affect fastbuzz.

Another change made recently is silent dropping of inbound email
containing attachements like .pif .exe and other "virusy" file
extensions. Yes, unfortunately .zip is now on the list. This is in
response to the explosion of viruses on the internet, especially the
MyDoom variants. The goal of Mail-Archive isn't really to store
zillions of virus emails, and bouncing these guys just adds noise to
the internet. 

We've also switched to dropping rather than bouncing emails larger
than the cutoff size. Shouldn't make a huge difference, but speak up
if this affects you. This change is due to technical mailing lists;
once in a while someone will send a giant patch and then the bounces
start causing subscription problems. It is my hope that this change
will allow some of the open source programming lists to come back into
the fold.

Cheers,
Jeff
