We have one user who cannot post to the board, despite being resubscribed and 
at present I can see no reason for this other than Mailman deciding their 
domain is on a spam blacklist.

We are not all on broadband, so I don't want everyone to check in with a test 
msg, but if we could generate a bit more traffic it would help.
