Hi Jacek on my own checks it seems to be posters out side the UK who 
occasionally have trouble ( some ISPs are permanently locked out it seems). 
I also noticed on the turn of the year there are a lot of sites whose 
certificates have expired. The checking is set fairly tight I believe, and 
sometimes messages are dumped. There is an interesting bug where if you send 
an attachment but leave the subject field empty the parser throws a wobbly 
and the attachment and message get corrupted.

Even more interesting is that it is still alive because 'there was no 
archive that could be harvested' .... that is obviously no longer the case.

It is generally surprisingly stable. Even more interesting I cant get a 
sensible response from Yahoo groups at the moment :-))
