But i'm all for a working mailinglist solution instead some workarounds to check a non-functional setup. Bruce: if you setup such a system you (but nobody else) knows about a problem. What use will be this system, if you are offline, away or just sleeping? So we need some more people sending mails periodically and check the result. This will result in a lot overhead and i assume in some false (and some true) positives.
