[ltp] broken mail server setup for linux-thinkpad mailing list

[Martin Steigerwald]

Hi!

Today I found I didn=B4t get mails from this mailinglist since about a=20
month. I investigated why:

I think thats a broken mailserver setup or at least one that should be=20
enhanced.

I whitelisted the SMTP client host as described in

http://www.policyd-weight.org/faq.html#whitelisting

for now.

And informed the mailinglist admin.

This is for others as information and to see whether I get this mail back=20
;).

Ciao,
