[Public-List] The end is nigh! Must it be?

Kris,

Yeah, the effort to run a simple mailserver has gotten kinda 
overwhelming. And then the large services, like Google, got very picky 
about receiving mail from smaller ones. I think a lot of people dropped 
using this list when Google was refusing to accept mail from it. I was 
never sure if they were rejecting the list specifically, the 
alberg30.org domain, or DreamHost in general. I went through a lot of 
work to authenticate through DNS, but the list traffic never recovered.
