Yes, I enjoy the first couple of posting sometimes. But after that ...

I get the digest. This is NECESSARY, see below.

Problem here is that some of the Debian lists do not work right. No digest on
a high traffic list means provider mailbox fills and then bounces and then
one is automatically unsubscribed. This is the only one I have been able to
stay on. When its digest was not working, I was kicked off every other day.
(Yes, if I wanted to leave my computer on 24/7 and pay for a fixed IP, I could
dispense with the provider's email server, smarthosting and the like and let
my exim4 do the work (which it does quite well). Then again, the /var
partition will fill up producing the same results. So ... let's have fun but
consider onr another and keep things reasonable.)
